The Irish Women Lawyers Association (IWLA) aims to provide a professional and social network for women lawyers. The IWLA’s three different categories of membership comprise judges, barristers, solicitors, academic lawyers, trainee lawyers in both the barrister and solicitor professions, law students and those interested in the work of the Association.

Among the aims and objectives of IWLA is the promotion of the wider participation of women in the development of law and justice for all. Our constitution is now available for viewing.

This web site details what the IWLA is all about, who is involved and how you can get involved. Please go to our Membership section for an application form.

We regularly run Seminars to update our members and others regarding new laws and procedures. Some of these seminars may deal with gender-specific issues. The applicable papers may be downloaded from our Events section.
