The J. Reuben Clark Law Society Executive Committee of the International Board initiated the Women in the Law Committee to facilitate the participation of women in leadership roles in the Law Society and the legal profession. The mission of the Women in the Law Committee is:

We affirm the strength and contributions that women lawyers bring to their legal practices, communities, and families. We strive to promote fairness and equal opportunities for these women.

The following are members of the Committee. We encourage input to Committee members. Telephone numbers are available in the JRCLS Membership Directory.
