The National Bar Association Trailblazers Under 40 Awards honors legal trailblazers who have achieved prominence and distinction in their fields of endeavor — be it the practice of law, academia, business, civic and charitable affairs, the judiciary, or politics — and who have demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing the goals and mission of the National Bar Association.

“The National Bar Association is comprised of hundreds of capable and accomplished attorneys,” said Patricia Rosier, President of the National Bar Association. “We are proud of all of our members, particularly this distinguished group of young attorneys who are rising in the ranks of their profession that are preparing to receive the torch of civil rights,” said Rosier.
