On Friday, February 3, the Harvard Law School Women’s Law Association is hosting its 6th annual conference. This year’s theme is Mind the Gap: Achieving Actual Parity.

It will consist of 4 panels, broken up by a gourmet lunch and a keynote speech. It will then continue with cocktails and a three-course meal at the Harvard Faculty Club. All of this is free, and you can attend any part (or all of it) that you wish (though the meals require you to register ahead of time).  The registration link is here.

Highlights from the conference include:
