The Lawyers’ Association for Women – Marion Griffith Chapter has announced that 20th Judicial District Chancellor Anne C. Martin is this year’s recipient of the Judge Martha Craig Daughtrey Award. The award is given each year to “active LAW members who model personal and professional achievement in the practice of law.” Martin practiced with Dodson, Parker & Behm PC and later with Bone McAllester Norton PLLC before she was elected to the Chancery Court bench in 2018. Daughtrey was the first woman to become a judge on a court of record when she was appointed to the Court of Criminal Appeals in 1975 and was also the first female justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court. She is now a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
