Please join the Women and the Law and Legal Rhetoric programs as we celebrate WCL’s long history of contributions to feminist jurisprudence. Each year the programs, with the generous assistance of a private benefactor, sponsor a student feminist jurisprudence essay contest named for Alice Paul, WCL Class of ’22. Ms. Paul authored the original Equal Rights Amendment while still a WCL student. We hope to inspire the next generation of scholars, lawyers and activists to make daring and creative contributions to feminist jurisprudence. This year’s essay contest winner Danielle Ives will present her paper “Combat in an Age of Terror: The Military Necessity of Women in Combat Roles in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
