Suffs & Suffrage:
The Law, Advocacy, and the Fight for Women’s Rights
CLE Co-Sponsored by the NBA and LAW Marion Griffin Chapter
1.5 Dual CLE credit
Thank you to our Women-Owned Law Firm Sponsors for making this CLE possible!
Join us for a special CLE exploring the legal, historical, and advocacy foundations of the women’s suffrage movement as highlighted in the Broadway musical Suffs. This program will examine the role of the law in advancing women’s rights, the legal barriers faced by suffragists, and how strategic advocacy helped shape constitutional and societal change.
Following the CLE, attendees will have the opportunity to attend Suffs at TPAC, offering a powerful theatrical perspective on the fight for equality and civic participation. This event uniquely combines professional education with cultural engagement, providing meaningful context for both the legal profession and the broader movement for women’s rights.
