Welcome to Ms. JD’s Library, the most comprehensive collection of resources on women in the law. Two years after Ms. JD launched the Library, the Center for Women in Law at the University of Texas School of Law partnered with Ms. JD to expand the database.

Today the Library includes more than 500 resource abstracts for books, articles, reports, and best practice recommendations on topics ranging from work/life balance and retention issues to stereotyping and gender bias in evaluation and compensation systems.

Any questions about the library should be directed to kornberg@ms-jd.org.

    The Library contains abstracts and links to a broad range of resources including books, law journal articles, trade publication pieces, data reports, best practice and strategy guides. We have categorized these resources by topic. You can search all the resources or search within a topic area. You can limit your search to only one type of resource, e.g. "Academic Publication." The search feature will scan titles, authors, and abstracts for multiple terms using the "AND (empty all)" option or for one of multiple key words through the "OR" option.
