Several ALI members were recognized at the Annual International Law Conference on the Status of Women, held March 10, at the New York City Bar Association.
The program brought together leaders in law and public service to address growing concerns about threats to the rule of law and judicial independence, with particular attention to the heightened risks faced by women judges. Opening remarks were delivered by Muhammad U. Faridi, President of the New York City Bar Association, who set the stage for an evening focused on the importance of supporting those who uphold justice in the face of increasing scrutiny and intimidation.
Among those honored were Christine A. Amalfe of FBT Gibbons, Fatima Goss Graves of the National Women's Law Center, Mary L. Smith of VENG Group, and Kathleen Marie Sweet of Gibson McAskill & Crosby, each recognized for their leadership, integrity, and contributions to advancing justice.
The Institute congratulates these members on their well-deserved recognition and their continued commitment to the legal profession.
