AE:LW is a biography of America’s third woman governor, Lurleen Wallace of Alabama (1967-68).

In October, she was the featured speaker at the annual luncheon honoring spouses of the justices of the U.S.Supreme Court, held at the Congressional Country Club. Attendees included Maureen Scalia, Mary Ann Kennedy, and JoAnn
Breyer.

Law has appeared on C-Span2/BOOKTV, and as a featured author at prestigious national book festivals. Her 2006 book Yield: A Judge’s Fir$t-Year Diary, was a 2007 finalist for the Texas Book Award.

Law wrote feature stories for the Valdosta Daily Times in the early days of her 14-year award-winning journalism career, which included working as a New York Times stringer in Houston. She was the first female bureau chief covering Florida State legislature for the (then) Fort Lauderdale News, now succeeded by the Sun Sentinel.
