Association for Women Attorneys NOLA Company Profile, Contacts & Intelligence

Association for Women Attorneys NOLA Overview

In 1976 a few women in the legal profession came together to network and discuss the legal status of women in general, and, in particular, in Louisiana. At that time, there were only about 300 women attorneys in Louisiana, and these founding members sought a way to network and communicate with each other. The Association for Women Attorneys was born. Incorporated in 1985 as a non-profit corporation, the AWA has been a resource for information, networking and camaraderie in the metropolitan legal community of New Orleans. Our membership consists of every sector of the legal community--public and private practitioners in civil and criminal law; judges; professors; corporate counsel; law clerks; and law students--who regularly gather and share common experiences and goals. The AWA holds monthly meetings at restaurants in downtown New Orleans, hosts an ethics and professionalism CLE each September, and an annual dinner meeting each January. The goals of the AWA are: (1) to foster the exchange of information among our members; (2) to encourage and facilitate the participation of women in economic and social decision-making in the community; and, (3) to advance the interests and improve the status of women in the legal profession and the status of women in our society.
