As law firms, legal departments, legal organizations and bar associations shift their culture to meet the needs of the 21st Century and ensure a culture of inclusion in the bar and on the bench, there is much to be learned about a woman’s place in the legal profession and how to evolve within an ever changing world. The law is changing dramatically as it seeks to adapt to new conditions and the uses of new technologies in the legal community. Women attorneys are stepping into the forefront and renewing their commitment to the principles of law, becoming knowledgeable about other legal systems and recognizing the need to adapt their practices. From the efforts and experiences of knowledgeable attorneys and judiciary, Summit attendees will gain an understanding and appreciation for the emerging challenges in the 21st century and learn best practices and strategies to successfully represent their clients.

In light of the recent focus on judicial ethics and discipline, our panel of judges will focus on the ethical challenges of being on the bench and being in practice. The panel will examine ethical questions that arise for lawyers, and the unique issues that arise when one moves onto the bench. They will also cover how relationships between judges and lawyers – through prior business relationships, bar association involvement, etc. – can contribute to these challenges. Do female judges experience these challenges differently than their male colleagues and why? The canons of judicial conduct will be explored, as will issues related to recusal.
