Historical NoteReturn to Top
The University of Washington School of Law's Law Wives Association was organized at a meeting attended by the wives of law school students on November 29, 1951. The group met monthly, with speakers presenting a different topic at each meeting. Among other activities, the Law Wives Association redecorated the student lounge; held dances, parties, fashion shows, book auctions, and receptions; and compiled newsletters. Some of the money raised from their projects and events went to provide scholarships for law students. In 1971, the name of the Law Wives Association was changed to the Student Bar Association Auxiliary. The group disbanded in December 1972 after years of decreased participation.
