The Association accomplishes these goals through the work of its committees, the presentation of continuing legal education programs, and the evaluation of judicial candidates. The NYWBA is a founding chapter of the statewide Women's Bar Association of the State of New York (WBASNY). Through its affiliation with WBASNY, the Association also reviews and comments on proposed legislation and policy initiatives at the state, federal and international levels and joins together with 17 other Women's Bar Associations across New York State.
