New Jersey Women Lawyers Association (NJWLA) is an independent association of New Jersey women lawyers. Our mission is to:

• Retain women in the legal profession through education and activism,
• Promote our members to the highest levels of law firm, government, academic, community and corporate positions and,
• Endorse qualified female attorneys for appointments to the state and federal judiciary.

NJWLA fosters leadership among its members by promoting professional activities, mentoring, educational programs and networking functions.

NJWLA creates task forces to study and advise our membership on gender equity challenges and other issues unique to women in the profession, including “glass ceiling,” “maternal wall,” “daughter track”, pregnancy, caregiver discrimination, and sexual harassment as well as on additional racial and ethnic barriers that women of color in the legal profession face.

NJWLA is the voice on all issues of importance to women engaged in the practice of law in the state of New Jersey.
