The Memphis Business Journal featured women attorneys, who are also actively involved in AWA, in an article called Legal Ladies: Female lawyers now make up one-third of profession. Judge Kay Robilio, who has been in the legal field for over thirty years, discussed the changes she has seen for women in the profession. Estelle Winsett, who is an attorney and the assistant dean for law career services, offered a special perspective because she has been an attorney in the "field" and also works closely with women in law school. Louise Chandler, as a fairly recent law school graduate, highlighted how much has changed because, as a child or young adult, she was unaware of any gender inequality in the legal field. The article also mentions the HF Law Group, PLLC, which is owned by former AWA president, Michele Howard-Flynn.
