A Dickstein Shapiro partner has been recognized by the National Association of Women Judges for her leadership to improve the legal world for women, the association announced this month.

Elaine Metlin will be awarded the Florence K. Murray Award during a ceremony at the association’s Annual Awards Banquet hosted on Oct. 15 at the Newark Club in Newark, N.J. The award is given annually to non-judges who motivate women to pursue legal careers or to those who advance opportunities for women in the field of law.
