The nominee is “the” outstanding woman of the year who demonstrates excellence as the most innovative and groundbreaking lifetime achiever.
  • Academia The nominee should have made a significant impact, delivered qualitatively and/or quantitatively measurable tangible results relative to the invested resources and influenced demonstrable changes in attitudes, beliefs, and practices towards gender equality.
  • Game changers / pioneers / young achievers The nominee is a game changer who has made an impact in the promotion of innovative approaches which have resulted in opportunities for women in law or a young legal professional, and who has shattered the glass ceiling in her field. This includes new ways of working where “business as usual” has failed and innovative “out-of-the-box” solutions have succeeded. She has demonstrated innovation in terms of the themes covered, the methodology employed, the channels used to create opportunities, and/or other aspects.
