‘Color of Justice’ program presented at Brooklyn Criminal Court
The National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ) and the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) joined with legal research company LexisNexis to present “Color of Justice,” a program created by NAWJ and designed to expose high school girls to courts and the legal system with the hope of encouraging them to attend law school and/or pursue careers in the law.
The Saturday event included two panels allowing for the discussion of careers in the legal field and an in-depth overview of how female judges of color have made a significant difference within and throughout the justice system.
