The Why That Inspires Us
Idaho Women Lawyers is a place to connect, grow, and learn. Our members are a powerful example of what can be achieved when women lean into their boldness and pursue their dreams. Our members have the power to make a difference in the world, and specifically in the communities we serve, whether it is through advocating for justice, protecting the rights of others, or simply providing a voice for those who don’t have one.
Our members are those women who are often the first to break through barriers and blaze new trails. They are the pioneers and innovators in our legal profession, showing that women are stronger and better together. Idaho Women Lawyers is your place to build connections, find support, and become part of the path to the future.
News and Updates
Continuing RBG's Legacy
The Idaho Women Lawyers partners with community organizations that promote access to justice and protect the rights of others. In 2022, IWL hosted a fundraiser to support the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise.
The Philip E. Batt Education Building, which opened in October of 2024, features a tribute wall honoring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and displayed on that tribute wall is sculpture by Boise artist Benjamin Victor titled “Transcendent Justice”. IWL was honored to have the opportunity to raise money for the tribute/art piece and in November, IWL’s members gathered for the IWL annual meeting at the Education Building to celebrate its opening and Justice Ginsburg’s legacy.

Statement of IWL Rejecting Inappropriate Calls for Judicial Impeachment
We oppose all efforts to intimidate or punish judges and legal professionals for carrying out their duties. Judicial independence and access to justice are fundamental to a fair and equitable legal system. We call upon the entire legal community in Idaho and beyond to uphold the rule of law and protect the integrity of our courts.
