The Wisconsin Journal of Law, Gender & Society has named UW Law student Kathryn Pfefferle as editor-in-chief for 2016–17. She replaces outgoing editor-in-chief, Katherine Kratcha.

Last February's symposium, “Faster, Higher, Stronger, Fairer, Better?

Originally named the Wisconsin Women's Law Journal, the Wisconsin Journal of Law, Gender & Society is one of the earliest in the nation devoted to the study of women and the law.

First-year students are eligible to participate in the journal's spring write-on competition, beginning immediately after finals in May. For more information, please contact Kathryn Pfefferle or David Lanser.
