From Courtrooms to the Campaign Trail: Empowering Women to Enter the Political Arena

In light of the rapidly shifting landscape of federal policy, legal professionals are increasingly faced with the challenge of staying informed and engaged while maintaining effective practices. Rather than focusing on specific legislative or regulatory changes, this program takes a broader view: how lawyers can meaningfully engage with the political process in ways that enhance their professional impact and personal fulfillment. Panelists will discuss strategies for navigating the fast pace of policy developments, understanding their implications for local practice, and identifying opportunities for involvement—whether through advocacy, education, community leadership, or informed commentary. The program aims to equip attorneys with tools to manage the demands of a dynamic political environment and to contribute constructively, regardless of the platform or level of direct participation.
