OUR IMPACT 

Since 2006, Ms. JD has set out to support and improve the experiences of women law students and lawyers. For nearly twenty years, we have done so with thoughtful in-person and virtual programming that increases access and provides a supportive network for women in the legal profession and their allies.

We believe in the simple truth that women's victories are everyone's victories. We invite you to share in some of ours:

"[LaddHer Up] is all in on vulnerability, on authenticity, on courage. It taught me how to be a better woman in the law, how to be a better friend, how to be a better listener, how to stand up for myself, and how to take what I want out of this life that I have. Thank you LaddHer Up and thank you Ms JD."

-Baylee Beeman, Associate at Pillsbury

"The Ms. JD Leadership Academy Intensive was indeed a unique experience. I connected with other fantastic law students who want to be trailblazers, trendsetters, and change-makers. It inspired me beyond words."

- Melissa Lucien, Law Student

"[LaddHer Up] was the most enriching conference I've ever been to, except for maybe last year's LaddHer Up. The women are incredible. The power is incredible. It gives me great pleasure to help these true star associates and give back to the profession. "
