Association for Women Attorneys

Established in 1979, the Association for Women Attorneys (AWA) works to support the women lawyers working in the city of Memphis and the surrounding Shelby County. The AWA is focused on furthering its members’ professional goals, promoting women in the local legal community, and aiding the female residents of Shelby County and Memphis with the legal problems that they face. Membership for the Association for Women Attorneys is open to all lawyers working in the Memphis area that support the mission of the AWA to provide support that is tailored to the specific needs of women lawyers.

The AWA offers several career-enhancing opportunities to its members. Lawyers that belong to the Association for Women Attorneys often expand their skill set and increase their knowledge by attending the continuing legal education classes geared towards women that the AWA arranges, such as Negotiation Skills for Women. Newer members of the Association for Women Attorneys are also able to become better lawyers by learning from more experienced members through the Association for Women Attorneys mentorship program.
