Summary
The first meeting of Women Lawyers Association of Tasmania was held on 17 May 1976, and the association remained active until 1979, when meetings stopped for a short time. The organisation was reformed in 1985, following a meeting at Ross on 24 February 1985 when a motion was passed that the association was a viable proposition and should be continued.
The Women Lawyers Association of Tasmania was incorporated in 2002 and in 2008 the organisation changed its name to Tasmanian Women Lawyers.
