WLIB created and funded Women Lawyers in Bergen Scholarship Fund (formely the Jean Robertson Scholarship Fund) which in the last 35 years has given yearly $2500 scholarships to deserving female law students, totaling over $100,000.
The mission of WLIB Mentorship Program is to support, guide, and inspire women in the legal profession by connecting them with experienced mentors. Our unique program is designed to foster meaningful relationships that empower women to excel in their legal careers.
We have begun partnering with the Susan Lucianna Breast Cancer Fund, a local non profit helping breast cancer patients with quality of life needs. We hosted a RALLY AGAINST BREAST CANCER last October outside the courthouse which raised over $7500 for the charity.
WLIB hosts a reception every fall for the BERGEN COUNTY judges, law clerks and membership so everyone can get to know each other.
WLIB passionately gathers generous donations for the shelter during the holiday season, spreading warmth and hope to those in need.
Attorneys Helene Herbert and Helayne Weiss have been law partners for over 32 years, building a practice focused on family law, domestic violence, employment discrimination, and public service. Alongside their active involvement in local politics, they have championed victims’ rights and provided pro bono legal consultations through the Women’s Rights Information Center, supported by WLIB volunteer attorneys. Their work has helped countless individuals navigate family law matters, including domestic violence, custody, and child support, and they continue to provide representation through the Center’s Legal Project.
The Young Lawyers Committee of Women Lawyers in Bergen meets on the 1st Wednesday of every month. Each meeting is hosted by one of the members.
If anyone would like additional information including the location of the next meeting or are interested in joining the Committee, please contact Alexandra L. Quirke, Esq. at aquirke@mfmclaw.com.
