Our vision is a legal profession that exemplifies equity and justice for all.  We convene leaders, generate ideas, and lead change.
The Center for Women in Law is devoted to the success of the entire spectrum of women in law, from first-year law students to the most experienced and accomplished attorneys. It combines theory with practice, identifying and addressing the persistent issues facing individual women and the profession as a whole.
