What We Do

High Impact Litigation

WLP accepts a small number of high impact cases which have the potential to benefit large numbers of women or to significantly advance women's rights. We also support litigation brought by others through the organizing and litigation of amicus (friend of the court) briefs.

Public Policy and Education

We believe educational efforts are necessary to achieve legislative and social change. Thus, the Women's Law Project:
  • performs public speaking engagements
  • sponsors conferences
  • promotes coalition building
  • provides technical assistance to legislators
  • writes and publishes brochures and self-help handbooks

Telephone Counseling and Referrals

The Women’s Law Project offers a free Telephone Counseling and Consumer Education Service. Volunteer counselors give basic self-help information about procedures and laws regarding a wide range of subjects of concern to Pennsylvania women. Family-related topics include domestic violence, child custody, child and spousal support, separation and divorce, and the legal rights of lesbian and gay parents. Work-related topics include family and medical leave, sexual harassment, and employment discrimination. Counselors use our extensive resource database to refer callers to other agencies that may be able to help them. If desired, counselors mail free written materials to callers regarding the areas of concern for them. More about Telephone Counseling.
