Welcome!

The NHWBA was established in 1998 to promote and support the advancement and interests of women in the legal community through leadership, professional interaction, education and the exchange of ideas between our members and the community.  We offer our members opportunities for personal and professional growth through networking and professional development forums, continuing legal education seminars, and public service initiatives that focus on improving the lives of women and children in New Hampshire.  Our membership is comprised of attorneys in all areas of law, judges, educators, government officials and law students from across the state.  We invite you to learn more about the NHWBA by exploring our website or joining us at an upcoming event.

Thanks to All who Helped us Celebrate our 15th Anniversary!

 Our 15th Anniversary Celebration was held on May 9, 2013, at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester.  It was a wonderful evening with members and friends of the NHWBA.  We were pleased to have Pamela Berman, the President of the National Conference of Women's Bar Associations, as an honored guest and speaker at the event.  We also enjoyed a recap of NHWBA's creation and history from Jennifer Parent, a past president and founding member of NHWBA.  This event would not have been possible without the support of the following sponsors:
