The Women’s Law Society was created to provide a forum for the
St. John’s Law community to explore and discuss issues involving
women and the law. The organization welcomes and encourages
participation from all members of the law school, including
students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The primary goal of the Women’s Law Society is to foster
awareness of the importance of equal opportunity and treatment in
the professional arena. It attempts to achieve this goal through
meetings, lectures, professional development seminars, and
networking opportunities.
The Society is also dedicated to addressing the community’s
needs and issues and believes in combining efforts with those of
the Student Bar Association, as well as other student
organizations, alumni, and charity groups.
The Women’s Law Society gives its members an opportunity to
share their interests, develop their job skills, and expand their
under- standing of how the law affects women and how women affect
the law.
