Brooklyn Women's Bar Association

On March 18, we continued to celebrate Women's History Month and promote our bar theme "Paving the Way Through Mentorship." We were honored to hear from Professor Marci Hamilton, former law clerk to the FIRST female Supreme Court Justice, the Hon. Sandra Day O'Connor. Prof. Hamilton discussed her clerkship, overcoming gender biases, and mentorship in the legal profession.

Congratulations to Brooklyn's own Joy A. Thompson, Esq.
