About Westchester Women's Bar Association

The Westchester Women's Bar Association (WWBA), based in Hartsdale, NY, is one of the largest chapters of the Women's Bar Association of the State of New York, serving the legal community across Westchester County and beyond. With nearly 500 members working through over 20 standing committees and 37 ad hoc committees, the WWBA provides comprehensive professional services including continuing legal education seminars, lectures, and CLE-accredited programs addressing vital and timely legal issues. The organization is particularly active in family law and domestic violence matters, operating the Survivors Law Project in collaboration with Northern Westchester Shelter and Victims Assistance Services to provide civil legal services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Members of the WWBA benefit from an extensive attorney directory cross-referenced by practice areas, professional networking opportunities, and access to resources supporting all practice types—from solo practitioners and law firm associates to judges, in-house counsel, and law professors. As an automatic member of the statewide WBASNY organization comprising 18 chapters and over 4,000 attorneys, WWBA members gain influential advocacy on legislative, judicial, and public policy issues at state and national levels. The association maintains strong relationships with the Westchester County bar, judiciary, and community leaders, contributing meaningfully to the local legal profession. The WWBA received the 2003 Award of Merit from the New York State Conference of Bar Leaders, recognizing its significant contributions to the legal profession and community through initiatives like the Moderate Means Panel of the Pace Law School Justice Center.
