Games will be played at Ford Center from 9am-2pm (depending on the number of teams).Frequently Asked Questions
What is this all about? - The first "Get in the Game" Lady Lawyers Basketball Tournament, held at Georgetown University in April 2006, was a remarkable success that soon spurred weekly "Lady Lawyers Leagues" and tournaments in Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento. Building on the enthusiasm of the over 450 Lady Lawyers who have been involved in the first year, Get in the Game is a volunteer-led, nonprofit organization (501(c)(3) approval pending) with a focus on providing athletic, networking and mentoring activities for lady lawyers and law students throughout the country, with net proceeds going to support charitable organizations focused on assisting underserved girls and women.
I love this idea, but I can't play that Sunday. Can I still get involved? - Absolutely. Email getinthegamehoops@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list.
Where is Stanford University's Ford Center? - Ford Center is located on the Stanford University campus at 365 Galvez Street, Stanford, CA.
How much will the tourney cost? - The cost for the tournament is $20 for law students, $30 for lawyers and friends, and $10 for current members of Women of Stanford Law. Firms can also sponsor teams (email us for more info).
I haven't played in years / I haven't played ever. What will the level of competition be like? ALL levels of experience are welcome. We will work to create balanced teams. There's no better way to learn than to just get in the game!
We don't have enough players for a team from our law school or law firm. - No problem! We are going to team up interested individuals with students from their alma mater and other lady lawyers, so there is no need to have a pre-formed team.
We have an entire team of ladies just from our law school or law firm… can we play together? - Absolutely. That's great that you have so much interest! We may have to add a few ladies to your team, but we will do our best to accommodate your group. Also, each team can have up to three women who are not "women in the law" (e.g., lawyers, law students, law alumnae, legal staff/paralegals, law professors, etc.).
We're really excited about this idea. Are you looking for law firms/organizations to sponsor the tournament? - Definitely. Email getinthegamehoops@gmail.com for more information.
