Accredited
CLE Provider
The WBA is an
accredited provider of Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education
programs. Each year the WBA sponsors or serves as a provider
for a variety of CLE programs. We encourage our members to recommend
topics and speakers, and we invite all members to participate
as course planners and presenters so that they may further develop
as leaders in the legal community. |
Practical
Professionalism
The WBA sponsors
CLE programs designed to assist women in their practice. As part
of the Practical Professionalism Series, the WBA holds seminars
on the practical look at the pratfalls and opportunities of opening
your own law practice--"Setting Up Shop"--and of raising
a family while fulfilling your duties to clients and to the demands
of high standards of professionalism-"Mother at Law." |
Approaching
the Bench
As part of the
WBA's main mission to provide opportunities for women in the
legal profession, the WBA will be holding upcoming programs as
part of its Approaching the Bench series. These programs are
designed to give practical information about the judicial appointment
and election process to those who are considering the possibility
of becoming a judge and for those who are interested in helping
women with judicial aspirations. |
Bookclub
and CLE
Our Women Lawyers
Bookclub meets regularly at the Mystery Lovers Bookshop. A few
times a year the Mystery Lovers Bookshop invites an attorney/author
to speak to the bookclub about their newest work and the WBA
sponsors a CLE program in conjunction if the topic is appropriate
for CLE credit. The WBA and the Mystery Lovers Bookshop have
sponsored past CLE programs with attorney, former federal prosecutor,
and Author Michele Martinez, as well as with attorney, Professor
at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law, and Award Winning
and New York Times Bestselling Author Lisa Scottoline. |
Programs
When You Can Attend
Because we know
that our members are balancing many responsibilities, many of
our CLE programs are scheduled at convenient times, such as during
lunch or early evening. |

even our low cost is difficult for those facing financial hardship.

unable to pay the fee, please contact our Executive Director
