Women Lawyers' Division


The Women Lawyers Division (WLD) was formed to provide a welcoming forum to discuss the professional and substantive challenges facing women in the legal profession. Our programs focus on issues relating to the careers and advancement of women who practice in Bucks County, as well as provide social and networking opportunities. While we expect that most of our members will be women, our doors are open to all members of the Bucks County Bar Association who care to help us in achieving our goals while getting support in achieving their own.

Find a Mentor. Be a Mentor. Sign up for our Mentor Program! The WLD Mentor Program was developed to help junior attorneys succeed by pairing them with more experienced women lawyers who can guide them through the channels of practicing in the legal profession.
