The College of Law is proud to partner with Ms. JD for Accelerate 2018: Grow.
Rise. Lead. This regional conference is designed to bring together law students from across the Midwest to focus on developing professional skills and building strong networks that will help them succeed both as law students and as professionals. The conference will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn from the unique perspectives and experiences of women lawyers that have succeeded in a variety of positions and settings. Panelists and speakers include judges, partners, nonprofit executive directors, entrepreneurs, associates, and in house counsel, among others.
Ms. JD is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to the success of aspiring and early career women lawyers. Nebraska Law launched its Women’s Leadership Initiative in the spring of 2017 and, since that time, has delivered programming that uniquely addresses the challenges faced by women in a historically male-dominated profession and works to support women lawyers through education, skill development, and network-building.
