Judge Angela Jewell, Henrietta Pettijohn Award

The New Mexico Women's Bar Association established this award to honor an attorney, female or male, who has over the previous years done an exemplary job of advancing the causes of women in the profession.  We named the award after the first woman to be admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the Territory of New Mexico, Henrietta Hume Pettijohn Buck, who made this lofty accomplishment on April 15, 1892.
