Jane Dalton, who has served as Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association, chair of the Board of Governors and co-chair of the Women in the Profession Committee, will be presented with the Association's Sandra Day O'Connor Award at a luncheon in center city.
The O'Connor Award is presented to a woman attorney who has demonstrated superior legal talent, achieved significant legal accomplishments and has furthered the advancement of women in both the profession and the community.
Jane Dalton practices before trial and appellate courts and administrative agencies in the areas of employment discrimination and personnel management, unfair competition and constitutional litigation, and other administrative litigation.
She has defended law firms, educational institutions and businesses in individual and class actions in federal and state courts, defending various employment matters, including claims of discrimination, harassment and retaliation based on age, race, sex, disability, religion and national origin. She has experience in defending highly controversial and highly publicized cases.
Among women, Jane has ben an inspiring trailblazer.
But there's more to her story than that. She is a sensible, thorough, caring and trusted lawyer, mentor and friend to many. Over the years I've found her to be the sort of strong, common-sense leader and associate that people invariably gravitate toward.
Jane Dalton currently serves as Vice-Chair of the Pennsylvania Bar Insurance Fund and Trust Fund, Co-Chair of the PBA'S Commission on Women in the Profession and Secretary-Treasurer of the Metropolitan Bar Caucus of the National Conference of Bar Presidents.

But she wears all of her titles and accepts all her responsibilities not with pomp and ceremony but with a refreshing human quality and a cheerful good humor. She's the real deal.
