Upcoming events

    • Wednesday, September 11, 2024
    • 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
    • Explorium Brewpub (Pritzlaff Building), 143 West St. Paul Avenue, Milwaukee

    If you enjoy attending our spring mentoring event, this is a casual event to welcome the newest Marquette class and meet future mentees.

    Appetizers are included and cash bar is available. Registration is free for all attendees. Non-member attorneys are welcome to attend.

    Top 3 reasons to mentor:

    • Be inspired: Mentors frequently leave feeling optimistic about the future of the legal profession after talking with the impressive law student mentees.
    • Be flattered: You are virtually guaranteed to know more about the practice of law than these law students—they will appreciate you and your willingness to share your experience.
    • Be a role model: Show soon-to-be-attorneys how you have defined success and give them tips and tools to allow them to blaze their own trails.
    Contact Director of Professionalism Hannah Jahn with any questions.

      As AWL continues to grow and evolve, we believe it is crucial to reflect on our past efforts and plan strategically for the future. To ensure that AWL remains impactful and relevant, we invite you to participate in our Strategic Planning Survey. The survey is confidential and all in the legal community are invited to respond.

      The survey is designed to gather your insights on several key areas:

      • Impact of Our Events: We want to understand how our events have influenced your professional and personal growth. Your feedback will help us enhance the quality and relevance of our programming.
      • Mission Relevance: Your thoughts on our mission's current relevance are invaluable. We aim to ensure our goals align with your needs and the broader challenges in our profession.
      • Approach to Diversity: We strive to foster an inclusive community that respects and celebrates diversity. Your input will guide us in assessing our progress and identifying areas for improvement.
      • Support for Women Lawyers: As a key part of our mission, we are committed to supporting women lawyers and addressing the issues we face. Your experiences and suggestions will help us tailor our efforts to serve our members better.

      The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses will be confidential. Your honest feedback is essential in helping us chart a course for the future that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of our members.

      Please take a moment to share your thoughts and experiences by clicking on this link.
      The survey will be open through Monday, September 16, 2024. Thank you for your time and for being a valued member of AWL
