Kathryn Scheinberg Meyer, Director of the Center for Children’s Advocacy Speak Up Initiatives, Wins CT Law Tribune 2015 New Leaders of the Law Award

September 30, 2015

The judges have spoken. And the Connecticut Law Tribune is proud to announce its New Leaders of the Law for 2015.

For the first time, we recruited members of the legal community to rate our nominees. Our desire was to get a fresh perspective on exactly what traits and achievements enable attorneys who are under 40 years old to rise above their peers. Each member of the five-judge panel sifted through dozens of entries and gave scores to each nominee in categories ranging from "contributions to the law" to bar association efforts, pro bono work and peer recognition. As we always take pains to note in bestowing these awards, we look for a lot more than litigation success. So while big law firms are amply represented among the 50 people being honored, our judges also identified a number of winners from small firms, solo practices and the nonprofit world. The Law Tribune will publish a special section featuring the winners on Nov. 2 and honor them at a special awards dinner on Nov. 4 at the Bond Ballroom in Hartford.
