Women in the Profession Committee

Created in 1989

Purpose

To assess the status of women in the legal profession; to identify barriers that prevent women lawyers from full participation in the work, responsibilities, and rewards of the profession; to develop educational programs and materials to address discrimination against women lawyers; and to make recommendations to the State Bar Board of Directors for action to address problems identified by the committee.  

2022-2023 Objectives

Moving Forward: How Women in the Profession Can Stay Visible with Clients, with Their Firms, and in the Legal Community

Post-Covid, our committee will focus on developing new ideas and new energy. Using data from our Covid Impact Survey, as well as the ABA's Practice-Forward Survey, we will focus on resources and tools we can provide to women in the profession to increase our visibility, individually and collectively. These tools will build on prior networking events, publications, resources, speaking engagements, and continued professional service.
