This year, Law Day celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, President Abraham Lincoln’s courageous executive order that was a first step in the battle for African Americans to achieve equality under the law.
It is particularly meaningful for me to consider the long fight for equality, since the New York Women’s Bar Association was established in 1934 after our founders were denied admission to other bar associations solely because they were women. Our members and leadersboth women and mencontinue to this day to work to achieve justice and equality for women in the profession and society at large.
