Women’s Caucus

The Women’s Caucus offers a supportive community for members who aspire to hold public office and provides guidance and mentorship for female attorneys who have recently obtained their license. Our aim is to promote and retain female trial lawyers in practice areas that align with NCAJ’s mission of safeguarding people’s rights.
