alumni sPOTLIGHT
Each story in our Alumni Spotlight honours the journeys of wāhine and allies who carry our kaupapa into every space they enter - grounded in purpose, courage, and connection. It is both a celebration of those who came before and an acknowledgment of those shaping the present.

Every journey adds to the Women in Law story. Whether you’ve built a career in law, moved into a new field, or taken time to explore different paths, we’d love to hear where life has taken you. Share your experiences, insights, or reflections - they inspire and connect the next generation of wāhine in law.
