Albuquerque-based attorney Kathleen (Kathy) Love has devoted her career to providing legal services to those who might not otherwise be able to access them. In addition to her work as an attorney, Kathy Love has supported organizations dedicated to promoting women’s rights and career success, including the Southwest Women’s Law Center (SWLC). SWLC works to create opportunities for women to succeed by addressing gender bias, poverty, and access to reproductive services. The organization is guided by the principle that legal advocacy is an essential component in creating systemic change. This principle underlies one of SWLC’s programs, One Woman, One Case, Once A Year, which develops policy cases to improve the lives of women and girls in New Mexico. Policy areas include fair pay, workplace pregnancy fairness, and economic security for survivors of domestic violence. Cases are litigated by attorneys and law student interns working pro bono. In addition to using these cases to develop strong policy initiatives that benefit women, the program also seeks to provide training to young lawyers and law students interested in pursuing public interest law that aids women.
