OBA Women Lawyers Forum PROGRAM | Original Program Date: January 21, 2021

There is power in working for change every day of your career, whether its change for a single client or whether it's working for change to systemic inequalities. Join the WLF in its next Pathways to Power installment on Women in Social Justice. Hear from leaders in human rights, the clinic system, not-for-profits, and test case litigation on how they have navigated their social justice careers and risen to positions of power and influence. Our discussion will map their journeys, their challenges, the realities of working in not-for-profit and/or legal aid funded work, and provide inspiration to all those who have ever wondered what it takes to follow your passion and make social justice your full-time job.
