Who Can Participate in FDCC Ladder Down?

Every FDCC Ladder Down class is comprised of women lawyers from a diverse range of practice areas, experience levels, and talents. Some participants have been practicing for less than one year, while others have been in practice for over twenty; there is no minimum level of experience required. You do not need to be a member of the FDCC to participate in Ladder Down. The program is open to women lawyers in private practice, government, and in-house. The 2023 National Program is entirely virtual and participants can be located anywhere in the country. FDCC Ladder Down participants must only share a common goal: be committed to changing their careers and the legal profession for the better.
