Nominate a Fellow Female Attorney for the Antoinette Dakin Leach Award by August 14

Each year, the Antoinette Dakin Leach Award recognizes the significant accomplishments of a “trailblazing” female attorney in central Indiana. Named after the first Hoosier woman to challenge bar admission based on gender, Dakin Leach was admitted to practice law in Indiana in 1893. Thereafter, she fought for more than fifteen years until finally admitted to the State Bar Association in 1909. 

The WLD is currently seeking nominations for the 2023 ADL award. We’re looking for female attorneys who emulate Dakin Leach’s passion for the law as well as her dedication to supporting other women in the profession.

Help us recognize a deserving colleague by nominating her at this link.

All nominations must be submitted by August 14th.
