Judge Nancy Allf and Judge Gloria Sturman have both been selected for the 2022 Bryan K. Scott Trailblazer Award by the State Bar of Nevada. The Trailblazer Award was established last year, to be given to members who exemplify the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the legal community of Nevada. Recipients are selected for their work to dismantle institutional bias, create a welcoming and and inclusive professional community by promoting awareness of diverse values, creating or supporting diversity, equity and inclusion programs, or leading by example.
Judge Sturman served as president of the State Bar of Nevada from 2002-03. Judge Allf, who is the presiding civil judge in district court, served as president of the state bar from 2007-08. Both judges are extremely active in programs to improve access to justice, legal education and in programs that improve communication with the bar. They have been active in hosting Civil Bench-Bar meetings and brown bag luncheons. Both have also been very active in community outreach including mock trial competitions, mock trials for students at the courthouse and mentorship programs.

Recognizing the work of Judge Allf and Judge Sturman to further diversity, equity and inclusion in the legal community of Nevada is particularly notable this month, because March is Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month commemorates and encourages the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. Judge Sturman and Judge Allf are building and enriching that history.
