Welcome to GAWL
Onward & Upward
Welcome to The Georgia Association for Women Lawyers! GAWL was founded in 1928 for the express purpose of being the voice for women lawyers in Georgia. In 2008, GAWL celebrated its 80th anniversary of pioneering for women lawyers all around the State. In 2010, GAWL extends its focus to moving "Onward & Upward" through the development of a new strategic plan. This plan will provide GAWL with specific goals and strategies to move GAWL into its next 80 years of service as the resource for the promotion of women lawyers in Georgia.
