Celebration of the Women of Alaska’s Judiciary
Please join AAWL for a very special event celebrating the women of Alaska’s judiciary on Thursday, June 26 from 5 to 7 PM. We have much to celebrate: For the first time in our state’s history, women make up a majority of both the Alaska Supreme Court and the Alaska Court of Appeals. And our very own Judge Pam Washington will soon be taking the reins as President of the National Association of Women Judges. Please join us to meet and toast to these amazing women.
Former Justice Dana Fabe (the first woman on the Alaska Supreme Court, and the first woman Chief Justice of that court) has graciously agreed to host the event at her home, which is within walking distance of downtown (address to be provided at a later date). All members of the bar and judiciary are welcome to attend, but RSVPs are required. Please RSVP here.
