“I joined the Society of Women Trial Lawyers because I wanted to meet and collaborate with other women from across the country. As someone who was sworn into practice during the height of Covid, it felt hard to network and meaningfully connect with others while behind a screen. This organization provides a true sense of community. I was personally greeted by other members during the first meeting I attended and have felt at home since. I am grateful for the resources and, more importantly, the friendship SWTL has provided.”

“Being a member of the Society has had such a positive impact on my career and my life as a working wife and mother and the sole female partner in my firm. The seminars put on by the Society bring top-notch and relevant education, but also allow me to see, hear from, and network with an amazing group of women who “get it” and support me and others in achieving their personal and professional goals – whatever those may be!"
