Woman Lawyer of the Year!
The Jacksonville Women’s Lawyers Association 2020 Woman Lawyer of the Year is someone who rises to every challenge and not only meets those challenges head-on but excels and surpasses every expectation. Lindsay Tygart is a role model to many for her work as a trial attorney, community servant, a bar leader, guardian ad litem, and champion for women’s issues. Congratulations Lindsay!!
This recognition was first awarded in 2003. Each year since, JWLA has presented the Woman Lawyer of the Year Award to a woman lawyer who is not necessarily at the pinnacle of her career, but who has made meaningful contributions in her community through her legal service or volunteer activities and who has been a positive role model for JWLA members.
