Named in honor of AAJ's past-President, the Women Trial Lawyers Caucus's Mike Eidson Law Student Scholarship is a $5,000 award presented each summer during AAJ's Annual Convention. The scholarship is awarded to a female Law Student member who is committed a career as a trial lawyer and ensuring a just result for the injured, the accused, and those whose rights are jeopardized. Congratulations to the 2022 scholarship recipient, Diana Vazquez-Ayala, a JD-candidate at Drake University Law School.

Laura V. Yaeger
Laura Yaeger, founder of Yaeger Law, PLLC, has practiced complex litigation involving pharmaceutical drugs and medical device product liability cases for almost 20 years. As a past chair of the WTLC, she values caucus's community and camaraderie--"It is the lawyers in the AAJ Women Trial Lawyer Caucus that time and time again show up and help each other rise. The WTLC community supported me when I started my firm almost three years ago. The relationships I have cultivated as a member of the caucus have provide growth and business opportunities along the way."
Virtual roundtables, membership drives, lobby days, leadership development training, happy hours, educational panels, and public service projects--the caucus offers many opportunities to network and get involved.
