Superior Court Justice Conboy to Receive Achievement Award
October 8, 2008-- The New Hampshire Women's Bar Association (NHWBA) has selected the Honorable Carol Ann Conboy to receive

The achievement award, which is named in honor of Marilla M. Ricker, the first woman to apply for admission to the New Hampshire
bar, honors outstanding women lawyers in New Hampshire who have achieved professional excellence or paved the way to success
for other women lawyers or advanced opportunities for women in the profession or performed exemplary public service on behalf of
women.
Judge Conboy was nominated for this award for the many achievements she has accomplished in her career, which began as a
federal court law clerk and continued as an associate and then partner in McLane, Graf, Raulerson and Middleton, where she
concentrated on employment law litigation. She was appointed to the Superior Court bench by Governor Judd Gregg in 1992.
In selecting Judge Conboy for the award, the Women's Bar noted in a press release that she had been "breaking ground for women

attorney and as a justice on the New Hampshire Superior Court." Judge Conboy currently serves as chair of the New Hampshire
Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics and chair of the New Hampshire Superior Court Sentence Review Board. She
also serves on the Franklin Pierce Law Center Board of Trustees and is a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association's
Committee on Professionalism. "She is generous with her time in mentoring young attorneys, she provides daily inspiration and she
serves as a role model to women lawyers entering her courtroom, " the Women's Bar said.
Past Marilla Ricker Award recipients include Hon. Susan B. Carbon, Martha Van Oot, Cathy J. Green, Mary Susan Leahy, Linda S.
Johnson, Deborah J. Cooper, Hon. Jean K. Burling, Emily Gray Rice, Ann McLane Kuster, Barbara Keshen and Sherilyn Burnett
Young.
