Women Trial Lawyers Caucus

Women Trial Lawyers Caucus 

In 1977, an informal group of five women trial attorneys assembled to talk about issues that affected them as women in law. The group quickly grew, developing political, educational, and outreach activities within AAJ. AAJ officially established the Women Trial Lawyers Caucus in 1979. The caucus is composed of female lawyers who are members in good standing.

Mike Eidson Scholarship

The Mike Eidson Scholarship Fund was established by the AAJ Women for Justice Education Fund in 2008, in honor of AAJ Past President Mike Eidson, whose vision and generosity inspired it. The Scholarship is awarded annually to a female student entering her third year of law school (the student can be enrolled in a three-year day program or four-year night program) who has demonstrated a commitment to a career as a trial lawyer, along with dedication to upholding and defending the principles of the Constitution, and to the concept of a fair trial, the adversary system, and a just result for the injured, the accused, and those whose rights are jeopardized. 

The recipient of the 2011 Mike Eidson Scholarship Fund was Carol A. Longoria - Texas Wesleyan University Law School.

The applications for next year's Mike Eidson Scholarship will be accepted starting in January 2012.
