When There are Nine

Let's Brief It

In honor of Women’s History Month, the Law Student Community presents this special episode in partnership with the Law Association for Women (LAW) at George Washington University Law School. Elena, Kirstin, Renata, and Sienna discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by women in the legal profession with Susan Hoffman, Esq., immediate past President of the D.C. Bar and esteemed GW alumna.

Interview questions provided by LAW executive board members. LAW treasurer Gina McKlveen also joins to promote their upcoming event “NINE: Portraits of Women in the Law,” a virtual art exhibition and reception celebrating nine influential GW Law alumna. The portraits were created by current women law students and will be released across a 9-day period beginning on March 15, 2021 to honor the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's birthday. Her words inspired the event’s title: when asked when there will be enough women on the Supreme Court, she replied, “When there are nine.” Learn more and register at https://www.law.gwu.edu/nine-portraits-women-law
