Description
This reading group explores the gap between the number of women law school graduates and the number of women who occupy leadership positions in the profession through the lens of leadership theory. The reading group evaluates the status of women in law practice and looks at barriers, including gender bias, pay equity, work/family and race/ethnicity. The reading group also covers best practices developed to eliminate those barriers. Familiarity with the topic will be gained through book chapters, law review articles and reports issued by leading professionals in the field.
