Carrie Sharlow, an administrative assistant at the State Bar of Michigan, was presented with the 2024 Avern Cohn Award for excellence in the collection, preservation, and interpretation of Michigan legal history by the Court Historical Society for the Eastern District of Michigan.
The award recognizes Sharlow’s outstanding contributions through her “Michigan Lawyers in History” articles in the Michigan Bar Journal. Sharlow’s first article was published in September 2011. She has since written 52 articles informing readers about attorneys who have won landmark cases, broken through social barriers, and helped shape the legal landscape in Michigan.
Sharlow received the award at the society’s annual meeting and luncheon on Nov. 13 at the Atheneum Hotel in Detroit.
