    Since its founding on February 24, 1981, LAW has carried forward a legacy of advancing women’s roles within the legal profession — inspired by the groundbreaking story of Marion Griffin, who was told in 1901 that women couldn’t practice before the Tennessee Supreme Court.
  • Advocacy That Counts
    We champion justice and legal reform by spotlighting issues affecting women, advocating for increased representation on the bench, participating in legal discourse, and welcoming minority and early-career attorneys.
  • A Network That Nurtures
    Whether you’re a practicing attorney, judge, law graduate, or student, LAW opens doors. Membership connects you with judges, seasoned lawyers, and fellow professionals across the Nashville legal community.
