Feminist Law Forum
The Feminist Law Forum is a student organization dedicated to fostering gender equality, both at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law and in the legal profession more broadly. The organization is involved in programs designed to educate its members, as well as the Indiana Law community, on feminist thought, to support diversity in the community, and to improve the educational environment. Our organization is firmly anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, and supportive of making Maurer a safe and enriching space for all.
A committed group of law students began the Feminist Law Forum in 1999 because of a perceived need for an organization that would take a strong stand against sexism at Maurer and in the legal profession. Despite the important strides made in the past few decades, sexism is still a significant problem in the legal profession. As a recent study by the Indiana Bar revealed, “[d]isparate treatment of men and women is found in the courtroom, in salary levels, in opportunities for advancement, and in the day-to-day interchange among colleagues.” As members of the Feminist Law Forum, we continue to take a stand against this disparate treatment.
FLF welcomes all Maurer students who are interested in discussing feminist issues and promoting equality. We believe that the efforts of all people are important in the fight against misogyny.
