Women's Caucus

Trial work is a traditionally male-dominated field. Our Women’s Caucus focuses on promoting women in the profession by providing support, mentorship, and education to female trial lawyers unique to their requirements. 

Networking

Sharing your experiences with others can be empowering. NJA works diligently to provide opportunities for our members to meet their colleagues. Events will be found in our Events calendar.  Several events are offered each year, including at conventions where we will often connect with other local female bar organizations. 

Don’t be shy! It can be intimidating to come to an event of this nature, and if you are concerned, reach out to NJA. We can facilitate introductions and help ease the discomfort of being new. Our Women's Caucus members relish new attendees and find it rewarding to have new members to mentor. Our goal is to create leaders; we cannot succeed without modeling good leadership!
