MDFAWL is a volunteer bar association dedicated to actively promoting the advancement of women in the legal profession, expanding the leadership role of its members in the community at large, and promoting women's rights. To achieve these goals, MDFAWL will further the common interests of its members and encourage camaraderie and learning among its members. MDFAWL will promote women's opportunities and rights, uphold the highest standards of integrity, honor and courtesy in the legal profession, promote reform in the law and facilitate the administration of justice. Membership in our organization is not limited to women - indeed, we are not the Florida Association "of" Women Lawyers, rather, we are the Florida Association "for" Women Lawyers. Therefore, men and women who support our mission are welcome into our membership.
