2024 Divisions & Chairs
Women Lawyers’ Division
The Women Lawyers’ Division (WLD) provides an open forum to discuss issues facing women in the legal profession, sponsors programs that focus on topics relating to the careers and advancement of women who practice law in Bucks County, and WLD offers social, educational and professional networking opportunities. WLD is open to all members of the Bucks County Bar Association who are interested in helping us achieve our goals while getting support in achieving their own.
Mentor Program: The Mentor Program was developed to help newer attorneys succeed by pairing them with more experienced attorneys who can guide them through the channels of practicing law. More experienced attorneys provide newer attorneys with opportunities to learn and grow. The Mentor Program is administered by the WLD and is open to all members of the Bucks County Bar Association. This is a one-year commitment, although a mentor and mentee may extend this term to suit their needs. Apply to the Mentor Program.
