    IOWA is going to be offering its Bootcamp program again - any IOWA member who is considering applying for judicial positions and is interested in learning more about the judicial applications process is welcome to join.  The event is free to members.  If you're not a member, please join!  Our dues are $35 per year and open the door to all our benefits.  Please note - our fiscal year runs July 1-June 30, so your membership for this current year will expire in June.

    Event details:

    Where: Zoom!  The Zoom information will be sent by WildApricot's email system the day before the event.

    When: 8 am  - 12 noon,  April 12, 2025

    What: Detailed information on the public and not-so-public parts of the judicial application process in Iowa.

    Note:  Law and pre-law students are welcome, but if we have licensed attorneys on the wait list we will bump pre-law students first, and then law students.  The format of Bootcamp works with small numbers for good discussions, so we want to prioritize those who may be actively applying or applying in the near future.

    Join us for our May installment of Sipping Sisters!  Sipping Sisters is an opportunity for our members to get together virtually, sip their favorite beverages, and discuss the profession, life, and the intersection between the two.

    While the original Sipping Sisters event in November 2024 was open to non-members, the new events will be members only.  If you're not a member, we would love to have you join us!  Just sign up via the website.  Once your membership is approved you'll be able to register for the event.

    Registration closes at midnight on May 11, 2025.  Zoom information will be sent on May 12, 2025.
