The ISBA Standing Committee on Women & the Law will be holding two events to commemorate International Women's Day and Women's History Month. 

First, a panel discussion will be held on March 8 from 3:00-4:00 pm via Zoom.  Registration is free, but required. Register for the panel discussion via Zoom.

The ISBA’s Women & the Law Committee will celebrate International Women’s Day virtually this year on March 8.

This year’s event, Honoring Women and Their Success: How They Accomplish Their Goals and Navigate Their Agenda in a Male Dominated Field, will feature a diverse panel of successful women. 

Every solo journey starts with a single step. Don’t miss this online seminar on January 10, 2018 that explores the practical business concerns of starting your own law firm and the special issues you may face as a woman branching out on her own. Discover how starting a solo practice can help advance women in the legal profession and what we can do as women to support each other in getting our practices off the ground. Learn how to fight the gender biases you will inevitably face and how these biases and stereotypes can affect your confidence. Listen as our panelists use their real-life experiences to advise you on a number key issues, including trust accounts, new clients, former clients, creating a business plan, and much more.

The program is presented by the ISBA Standing Committee on Women & the Law. It qualifies for 2.0 hours MCLE credit, including 2.0 hours Professionalism, Civility, or Legal Ethics Professional Responsibility MCLE credit (subject to approval).
