Established in 2024, the Lycoming Law Association’s "Louise Larzelere Chatham Award" commemorates the 100th anniversary of the admission of Lycoming County’s first female attorney to the bar. In honor of Louise Larzelere Chatham’s groundbreaking achievement, steadfast commitment to justice, advocacy for women’s rights, and dedication to the community, this award recognizes a woman who embodies these same values and contributions to the legal profession. It also serves to celebrate the significant progress women have made in the past century.
The award is presented by an outgoing female president at the Annual banquet. Due to scheduling conflicts, Joy McCoy was unable to present this award at the annual banquet in January as the outgoing president. The award was presented during the 2025 bar admission ceremony.
The recipient of this award embodies a combination of the following attributes reflecting Chatham’s legacy: Significant accomplishments in the legal field, a history of community service, mentorship of other and contributions to the advancement of women’s rights.
