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 to promote access to justice and protecting rights of others. In 2022, IWL hosted a fundraiser, honoring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to support the new education center for the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights. This comprehensive human rights education center will feature a tribute wall honoring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Displayed on this wall will be a sculpture by Boise artist Benjamin Victor titled “Transcendent Justice”. The reception featured remarks from the artist about his process and inspiration, information about the Wassmuth Center’s mission, community-building activities, a silent auction, and an opportunity to reflect on Justice Ginsburg’s legacy.
