Judge Bernice Donald of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit was honored by the American Bar Association over the weekend at the ABA Annual Meeting in New York City. Donald, along with four other female attorneys, were named winners of the 2017 Margaret Brent Awards, given each year to women of achievement. “Laws can be powerful. Law can be just. But laws don’t have hands, eyes, legs and a heart,’’ Donald said in her acceptance speech. “Only we can make the law real and only we can make the law applicable. We become its limbs and its organs, and we make the law equal for all people.”
