The Core Aims Of M.C.W.L Are...

  • To serve as a conduit for the dissemination and exchange of information and ideas among women attorneys.
  • To promote and protect the interests of women attorneys so that we may achieve full participation in the legal profession.
  • To support and expand the fundamental rights of all women.
  • To eliminate all forms of violence and economic oppression against women.
  • To promote freedom of reproductive choice and gender equality.

 

Marin County Women Lawyers' predecessor, North Bay Women Lawyers, was formed in 1976.  It encompassed Marin County, Napa County, Sonoma County, Mendocino County, and Solano County.  The first membership roster totaled only 13 women.

By 1986, the counties had achieved sufficient growth that independent organizations were sustainable.  The North Bay Women Lawyers then renamed itself Marin County Women Lawyers, and now has over 100 members.
