The Limitless Awards
Ms. JD’s Limitless List acknowledges the exceptional achievements and contributions of women law students and early career attorneys (in their first 12 years of practice) who are driving change in their law school communities and the legal profession. Their passion, dedication, and commitment to empowering women in law is inspirational.
The prestigious Ms. JD Limitless Leadership Award celebrates (1) a promising woman law student, (2) exceptional woman attorneys (who have been practicing for 12 or more years), and (3) a pioneering organization embodying a spirit of excellence and a deep commitment to advancing gender equity in the legal profession. Presented by Ms. JD at the annual Limitless Awards & Gala, this award honors the women and organizations who have gone above and beyond in their leadership, in their innovative gender equity initiatives, and in their exceptional commitment to empowering and inspiring future generations of women lawyers.
All Limitless List and Leadership Awardees will receive national recognition online and via social media.
Can I submit more than one nomination?
Yes, you are welcome to submit nominations for multiple people.
What do I need to fill out the nomination form?
You will be asked to provide the nominee's contact information, basic biographical information (such as law school or firm name), and to upload the nominee's resume.
If you are submitting a nomination for the Limitless List, you will also be asked to write a paragraph about the nominee's qualifications, and will have the option to upload additional materials (such as letters of recommendation or publications).
If you are submitting a nomination for the Leadership Awards, you will be asked to provide the name and contact information of two people who can provide further information on the nominee. These people will receive a short survey to fill out, asking a few targeted questions about the nominee's qualifications.
Can I submit someone to be considered for both the Limitless List and the Leadership Award?
Law students can be considered for both the Limitless List and the Leadership Award. When filling out the nomination form, you will see an option for them to be considered for both.
For attorneys and law professionals, the awards are divided by years of experience. Attorneys with less than 12 years of practice may only be considered for the Limitless List. Attorneys with more than 12 years of practice may only be considered for the Leadership Award.
Can I include my name as one of the two contacts who will receive the additional survey for the Leadership Award?
If you are submitting a nomination for someone else, you can include yourself as one of the two people who will receive a short survey about the nominee. If you are submitting a nomination for yourself, you must include the names and emails of two additional people to fill out the survey.
When will the award winners be announced?
Limitless Award recipients will be notified in November, and the announcement will go out publicly on our social media pages and website in early December.
