“I am deeply honored to receive the Outstanding Law Student Award from NAWL. This recognition serves as a celebration of the countless women who’ve paved the way for me both in life and in the legal profession. I extend my sincerest thanks to my UIC Law peers and faculty, to my family and friends, and to the NAWL community. Together, we can continue to break barriers, advocate for equality, and empower future generations of women in law.”

- Mira Gelfman, a graduating law student from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law.
