Women's Pre-Law Association, Brown

Organizations

The purpose of Brown Women’s Pre-Law Association (BWPLA) shall be to empower all Brown students including women in their pursuit of legal careers and to foster a space where networking and community building may thrive. BWPLA is committed to offering law-related resources, events, and opportunities for all Brown students who are interested in supporting women’s professional and personal goals. Past initiatives include law school visits to Harvard, collaborations with the Rhode Island Supreme Court, and alumni panels featuring attorneys and current law students. We are an inclusive, diverse, non-partisan, feminist, and womanist group dedicated to supporting, educating, and providing professional and mentorship opportunities to our members in addition to cultivating a strong, accessible alumni network following one’s time at Brown. Above all, we are committed to maintaining an inclusive, anti-discriminatory environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of the identities they hold.
