“I am grateful for this award, especially to Dean Renee Hutchins Laurent for nominating me. It is a reflection that my leadership and dedication to service for all people, especially women, are being recognized. Recognition of these issues is crucial now more than ever for women in the law. Post-graduation, I will be clerking for Judge Evelyn L. Cusson on Baltimore County's Circuit Court.”

– Micah Yarbray, on receiving the 2026 NAWL Outstanding Law Student Award for the University of Maryland Carey School of Law.
