Virginia Women Attorneys Association

Established in 1981, the Virginia Women Attorneys Association (VWAA) was created to further the interests of women in the law, to help female attorneys improve their legal practices, and to build a community among the female lawyers working in Virginia. Though the focus of the Virginia Women Attorneys Association is on women lawyers, membership is open to all law school graduates and lawyers in Virginia. Members of the Virginia Women Attorneys Association may also elect to join one of the eight VWAA regional chapters.

The Virginia Women Attorneys Association provides several tools to its members to help them advance their professional careers. Each year, the Virginia Women Attorneys Association presents the “You Be the Judge” program, which is designed to inform female attorneys about the necessary steps one must take to become a judge in Virginia. Also, the Virginia Women Attorneys Association hosts a bi-annual conference featuring speakers on topics that are useful to female lawyers, such as gender bias in the American legal system and defining one’s image outside of traditional marketing.
