Women of Color Pre-Law Association

ABOUT WOCA

In August of 2023, the first ever Women of Color Pre-Law Association was established at DePaul University, aimed to establish and embrace community, connections, and culture of the DePaul Women, Non-Binary, and Non-Conforming students of Color interested in pursuing careers in the legal field.

The students believed that the different events and resources not only strengthened their own individual racial, ethnic, and cultural roots, but also empowered women of color students to become unified leaders in their communities to pursue law.
