MBAWL is proud to announce the 2024 Trailblazer Award honoree - Alabama Circuit Court Judge Vicki Davis! 

 Our 12^th annual Trailblazer Tea celebrating Judge Davis is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 12,

in the Crystal Ballroom of the Battle House. 

Sponsorships are available to help us honor Judge Davis—information is available here. 

The Trailblazer Tea is an opportunity for the Mobile area legal community to recognize women lawyers who have defeated challenges and blazed a path for future generations of attorneys and also to celebrate women in the law.  Each year, MBAWL solicits Trailblazer Award nominations from members of the Bar, and a committee of MBAWL members selects the Award recipient.  Past Trailblazers include Helen J. Alford, Merceria Ludgood, Frankie Fields Smith, Hon. Callie V. S. Granade, Beth Marietta-Lyons, Hon. Margaret A. Mahoney, Celia Collins, Shirley Justice, M. Kathleen Miller, Nicki Patterson, Justice Sarah Stewart, and Judge Sonja Bivins.

Sponsorships reduce the cost of attendance and help us honor our Trailblazer in a meaningful way.

We welcome contributions from individuals and firms.  

The deadline for sponsorship inclusion on the invitation is May 15, 2024. 

If you’d like to become a sponsor, contact Ginger Poynter at gpoynterlaw@gmail.com or Samantha Gunnoe at sng@helmsinglaw.com.
