April 1, 2025

As women ascend into more lead counsel positions, perspectives
can change. Join us for the ninth installment of Women in the Courtroom,
NMDLA’s signature seminar crafted specifically for New Mexico women litigators.
This full-day CLE offers practical tools, fresh insights, and real-world
strategies designed to elevate your litigation skills and professional
growth—whether you're in a law firm, public agency, or corporate setting. This
year’s program highlights the unique challenges women face in the legal profession
while providing an alternative model for success—one grounded in authentic
communication, strategic thinking, and the strength of diverse leadership
styles. Attendees will benefit from: In-depth discussions on litigation and
trial strategies (Think bad faith, medical malpractice, the state of the
defense bar and reptiles! ); candid observations from accomplished women in
law; advice for achieving balance in high-demand legal roles; and networking
opportunities with a dynamic community of peers and mentors.


Who should attend?
This seminar is ideal for all attorneys seeking to refine their litigation
skills and support an inclusive legal culture. Law firm leaders, hiring

are also encouraged to attend. Don’t miss this engaging, defense-focused event
