Women Defenders provides professional, technical and social support networks for female criminal defense practitioners.
With a feminist perspective, we provide MCLE-accredited skills seminars and social gatherings whereby practitioners may interact with other criminal defense attorneys, investigators, experts, professors and students.
EVENTS
Women Defenders hosts several events each
year including MCLE programs, the Annual Fall Seminar, and Happy Hours.
