Ms. JD Presents Ready to Rise: A Law & Leadership Academy for Girls

Ms. JD is proud to present Ready to Rise: A Law & Leadership Academy for Girls. Sixty middle school girls will come together at the University of Houston Law Center for a one-day academy in law and leadership on Friday, June 15th.

By providing opportunities for education and interaction with women law students and attorneys, Ms. JD’s Ready to Rise academy will allow girls to see themselves as future members of the legal profession advocating for clients, serving as members of the judiciary, running for political office, launching innovative businesses, and reaching back to share their education with other girls in their communities.

Ready to Rise will offer engaging activities to inspire middle school girls to consider pursuing a legal career. The day will include a tour of the University of Houston Law Center, presentations by prominent Houston women attorneys, educational games on the law, and more!

Ms. JD would like to thank the Houston Young Lawyers Association for their generous support and our sponsors who have helped make this event possible:

#weSupport level: Legal Kid & the little lawyers

Ms. JD is honored to invest in the next generation of rising female attorneys through Ready to Rise. More broadly, Ms. JD seeks to continue increasing access to the law field by creating learning opportunities for women and girls. To learn more about Ms. JD’s mission and efforts click here.
