The International Committee and NAWL's History of Involvement

This article explores the history of NAWL (American National Association of Women and the Law) and its involvement in international women's rights. One of NAWL's most important initiatives has been informing American women lawyers about issues of women's rights in other countries, which as been furthered by articles published in recent years. NAWL is a leading supporter in the area of womens rights in international settings. NAWLs recently renamed "International Committee" undertakes new projects, such as the March 2012 International Women in Law Summit in London. It is to be expected that NAWL will remain an advocate for women lawyers and the rights of women wherever NAWL's efforts can most effectively be deployed.
