ABOUT Lady Justice Initiative

We catalyze an AI era of law where women in law capture opportunity and justice thrives, globally.

The AI Era of Law is Here

Will You Lead It?

AI is transforming legal systems, organizations, products, and the profession worldwide. It is reshaping how legal work gets done, how people access law, and how justice is delivered. It is also redefining leadership in law and even what it means to be a legal professional. 

This transformation can deepen existing inequities or become the greatest opportunity in over a century to build something better.

The outcome depends on who leads this new era in law and what they build.

Lady Justice Initiative exists to shape both: more women leading AI transformation and transformation that serves justice. 

What We Do

We support two interconnected initiatives shaping the AI era of law. 

Women Building the Future of Law

For women ready to shape AI transformation, now is the time to build new capabilities, expand influence, and reimagine what's possible. 

We're seizing this historic moment to build women's power and reimagine a legal sector where women thrive. We help women in law claim a seat at the tables where decisions are being made and build new tables for the AI era through initiatives such as:

  • Lex 2X Exec, our flagship global leadership network, built specifically for women in the AI era of law. Through executive coaching, executive peer advisory group coaching circles, AI skills and leadership training, and a curated global community, we power women to lead what comes next. The network is for women legal executives, legal tech founders, chief innovation officers, CLOs, and emerging leaders.
  • Justice Circles, peer advisory group coaching circles for women building the future of justice through technology. Circles draw upon the leadership and professional development capabilities of Lex 2X Exec but are tailored for the unique needs of women leading justice and access to justice transformation. 
  • AI for Breakfast City Circles for Women in Law, which convene local communities in select cities around the world where women in law gain AI fluency, build local networks, share intelligence, and gain business and leadership opportunities. Circles are for women in law related roles. 

Practitioners Harnessing AI for Justice

We support practitioners more generally working to close gaps in access to law, build justice-centered AI solutions, and ensure transformation serves those who need legal systems most.

Our support includes tailored programs, peer learning, research, and resources for practitioners in government, courts, civil society, legal tech, and other business working on AI in justice and advancing other law related public interests through AI. 

Why This Combination?

These aren't separate missions. They're two sides of the same opportunity.

The women we support are leading and building: Legal tech founders who are creating products that expand access to legal solutions. Legal executives who are shaping how organizations deploy AI responsibly. Policy voices who are influencing how AI is governed.

Making justice native in the AI era requires inclusive innovation and leadership.

By investing in both simultaneously, we're building a new era of law where women lead, justice is native, and AI serves its highest potential. 

The AI opportunity in law has arrived. Join us in building what comes next.
