But no one else is in the room where it happens.

LELIA J. ROBINSON AWARD
The Lelia J. Robinson award celebrates the first woman attorney to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She was admitted to practice in 1882. The Women’s Bar Association of Massachusetts created an award to celebrate women who embody this trailblazing spirit – women who are pioneers in the legal profession and have made a difference in the community.
EMERGING WOMEN LEADERS OF THE LAW
The Women’s Bar Association introduced the Emerging Women Leaders in the Law Award to recognize the significant achievements of women lawyers in the first 10 to 15 years of their legal careers. The award honors women who have demonstrated professional excellence or had a significant professional achievement in the earlier stages of their legal career, and either promote the status of women in the legal profession or contribute meaningfully to the equal participation of women in a just society.
AT THIS YEAR'S GALA, WE'RE EXCITED TO
BRING TOGETHER WOMEN FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE HIGHLIGHTING THE WORK OF THE WBA
The WBA is the largest local women’s legal organization in Massachusetts with nearly 1,500 members. For the past 40 years, we have worked relentlessly to provide leadership and mentoring opportunities for women attorneys, run social justice programming, stay active at the heart of key legislative policies in the Commonwealth, and generally create an excellent professional and referral network for our members.
