Women's Law Association (WLA) at Maine Law

Women's Law Association (WLA) at Maine Law Maine Law's WLA focuses on developing a network of women in the legal field and raising awareness of the hurdles still facing female attorneys.

The Women's Law Association has developed in response to the increased awareness of the impact of the law on women and the impact of the growing number of women attorneys on the law. Through its educational activities, the WLA encourages the development of a network among women at the law school, women practitioners in all branches of the legal field, women in the judiciary, and organizations in the state that are concerned with issues affecting women.
