About
Opportunities for Women in Law
We are the stellar examples of what women can achieve in law. We have proven the value and importance of female legal experts on a national and international level. We have struggled and fought to get to where we are now. We have seized opportunities and made good use of the opportunities we were given. However, more often than not our achievements are still isolated cases for women even today. Let us, therefore, support each other and fellow women in their legal careers and strengthen cooperation between women in legal professions.
