Description of National Association of Women Judges
The National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ) provides strong, committed judicial leadership to ensure fairness and gender equality in American courts. Through effective judicial education and interaction, we promote equal access to justice for vulnerable populations. We also offer professional and personal support to enable our members to achieve their full potential on the bench. NAWJ is committed to diversity in our membership. Our organization welcomes both men and women. We include appellate, trial, tribal, administrative law judges, state and federal judges, and members from every state in the nation. NAWJ provides an opportunity for judges to meet and discuss professional issues of mutual concern in a supportive atmosphere. Joining with others with the same values, we laugh, enjoy life and mentor one another nationwide. We also connect with international judges through our membership in the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ). Our most recent Annual Report 2007 is available for download.
