Congratulations to Carrie Jones on receiving the 2026 Stephen T. Victory Memorial Award at the LSBA Annual Meeting.

The award is presented to Louisiana Bar Journal contributors deemed to have produced the most outstanding work. Carrie's article, “The Role and Regulation of Pharmacy Benefit Managers: A Legal Perspective from Louisiana,” published in the August/September 2025 issue of the Journal stood out not only for its timely, breaking-news nature, but also for the speed with which it was developed.
