Workshop for AAPI-MENA Women in the Legal Academy

This workshop is aimed at building community and supporting and mentoring women aspiring to enter or who are in the legal academy. The workshop will include a space for workshopping incubators and works in progress, exploring our shared identities and history, and dialoguing about professional development and wellness.
