The Association of Black Women Lawyers of New Jersey, Inc.
(ABWL-NJ), founded in 1975, is the longest running women’s bar association in
New Jersey. As a non-profit and non-partisan organization, ABWL-NJ is
dedicated to community involvement, education, diversity in the legal
profession and initiatives designed to encourage greater participation of
African-American women in the field of law.
The Bernadine Johnson-Marshall and Martha Bell Williams

activities. Scholarships in their honor will again be awarded to
