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.

By1986, 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.
