Felice Duffy, founder of Duffy Law, is a dedicated Title IX advocate and former head coach of the Yale Division I Women’s Soccer Team. She is committed to excellence and driven by passion - in the courtroom and on the soccer field.
Felice's first experience with Title IX was when she filed an action against UCONN under the then-new Title IX statute to compel the creation of a woman’s soccer program. She would go on to be named to the first Women’s U.S. National Soccer team and selected for the first Division one All-American women's soccer team.
Receiving her JD at the age of 40, Felice has served over ten years as a federal prosecutor and clerked for federal judges.
In today's episode, we dive into fighting for your passion, her role in over two decades of gender equity, and shifting culture through education.
