Join us for an inspiring summer evening of connection, conversation, and community at the MLA Women’s Networking Event! Whether you're a seasoned legal professional or just starting your journey in the profession, this event is your chance to build meaningful relationships with other women across all areas of law.
Enjoy light refreshments, lawn bowling, and thought-provoking dialogue in a relaxed outdoor setting. This is a chance to step away from your desk and connect with peers who understand the unique challenges and rewards of being a woman in law.
✨ We are thrilled to announce that this year’s event will feature a keynote address from Associate Chief Justice LeRoy.

In 2011, she was appointed a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and from 2015 to 2019 was the Local Administrative Judge for the London courthouse. In 2019, Justice LeRoy was appointed Regional Senior Judge for the West Region.
