In this article, we study the logarithm of the central value L((1)/(2), χD) in the symplectic family of Dirichlet L-functions associated with the hyperelliptic curve of genus δ over a fixed finite field \mathbbFq in the limit as δ→ ∞. Unconditionally, we show that the distribution of log |L((1)/(2), χD)| is asymptotically bounded above by the Gaussian distribution of mean (1)/(2)log °(D) and variance log °(D). Assuming a mild condition on the distribution of the low-lying zeros in this family, we obtain the full Gaussian distribution.
