Today, #NAWLBoard member Ghillaine Reid Melbourne presented with former ABA and NBA President Paulette Brown as a part of Boston University School of Law's Congresswoman Barbara Jordan Speaker Series. The series examines the intersection between race, inequality, and the law; and how we may pursue fundamental change in our system of laws to deliver on the promise of equity and justice for all. Their panel, "The Enhanced Impact of Racism on Women of Color in the Legal Profession - More Than Equality Is Required," incorporated research findings and personal stories to show that equity, rather than equality alone, is necessary to finally provide women of color in the legal profession with the opportunities they have earned and deserve. Amazing work, Ghillaine! Paulette Brown is a former American Bar Association and National Bar Association President. Ghillaine Reid is a Partner at Troutman Pepper. #NAWL #NAWLWomenInLaw #NAWLMember

A group of NAWL members took a field trip to the Supreme Court on Tuesday to witness oral arguments, tour the building, and learn more about the history of the Court. They heard from Marshal of the Supreme Court Gail Curley. The 11th Marshal of the Supreme Court, she is only the second woman to hold the position. She is also a retired U.S. Army Judge Advocate. Thank you for addressing our group, Col. Curley! The group also got to witness 2023 NAWL Public Service Award Recipient Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argue on behalf of the federal government in Garland v. VanDerStok. Thank you to Mary Catherine Vergona and Mary Card Mina of the NAWL Military and Government Services Affinity Group for organizing the excursion. #NAWL #NAWLWomenInLaw #SCOTUS #NAWLAffinityGroup
