Any Duke Law student interested in starting a new organization may propose a charter to the DBA.

We seek to re-frame what it means to be a womxn and a person of color both from within and outside of the law. We spell "womxn" with an "x" as opposed to the common way of spelling it with an "a" ("woman") because we want to consciously reject the patriarchal norms that permeate the legal field and society in general while also making sure to include the voices of trans and nonbinary people of color in our community.

Formerly known as Law Students for Reproductive Justice, If/When/How is a national network of law students and legal professionals who work together because reproductive justice doesn’t just happen. We believe that achieving reproductive justice will take thoughtful action and strategic activism: acknowledging the intersection of identities, collaborating across disciplines, and working toward a critical transformation of the current legal system. Ensuring that all people have the right to decide if/when/how to create families depends entirely on if, when, and how hard we fight.
