The Broward County Women Lawyers’ Association is the Broward County chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers (FAWL), the State of Florida’s women’s bar organization.

BCWLA is a diverse group of lawyers and judges who reside, work, and socialize in Broward County. The unifying factor for the BCWLA is the recognition that the successful practice of law reaches far beyond the courtroom. While BCWLA members vary in terms of experience, areas of practice, gender, age, and ethnicity, we share the common vision that a successful legal community thrives on the commitment of its lawyers and judges to the legal and civic community.

Throughout the year, BCWLA hosts monthly luncheons aimed at helping lawyers to achieve their personal and professional goals. BCWLA members have the opportunity to socialize, enjoy lunch at the Tower Club, and earn CLE credits while talented speakers share their knowledge, skills, and experiences. For more information about the BCWLA or its activities, please contact us using the "Contact Us" link on the left.

Special thanks to the sponsors and donors at this season's
