“I am deeply honored to have been awarded the 2025 Outstanding Law Student Award by the National Association of Women Lawyers. Serving the women at UGA Law, and in the legal field as a whole, was the highest privilege of my law school experience, and I look forward to continuing that service into my career. I would not be the woman I am today if it were not for the wonderful women who have shaped and supported me: my wonderful friends, family, professors, supervisors, and mentors. After the Bar Exam, I will be recognizing my dream to be a Public Defender with the Hall County Public Defender's Office in Gainesville, Georgia! I give all thanks to God for ordering my steps and sustaining me throughout this path.”

- Madison Howard, a graduating student from the University of Georgia School of Law.
