Yale Law Women+ (YLW+) works to advance the status of women and typically underrepresented gender identities at Yale Law School and in the legal profession at large. To realize this mission and advocate on behalf of our membership, we create programming, resources, and mentorship opportunities to bolster women’s and underrepresented gender identities’ pursuit of their professional and personal goals.
