The
Arkansas Association of Women Lawyers drew up their original
constitution on January 7, 1967. Membership was to include active
members, defined as women lawyers residing in the state of Arkansas;
associate members, defined as women clerks and deputy clerks of courts;
and at-large membership, defined as women lawyers from out-of-state who
retain membership in the Arkansas Bar. The constitution stated that "The
object of the association was to secure a closer bond of fellowship
among women lawyers of the State of Arkansas, in furtherance of the
interests of women lawyers and their better service to the legal
profession."
