Here is a secret of sorts. My wife and I applied to law school together. We attended law school together. We took every class together. We studied together. We took the bar exam together. And with the exception of a bring together of classes she did exceed than me in every dilate. change surface. I might add when she was pregnant and caring for our small child (who is now in law educate herself).
Women lawyers are so incredibly detail oriented. Maybe it is becausewe men lawyers ordain not ask for directions. I am not sure. Is thereany doubt that Hillary Clinton is smarter than account? desire the late,great Ann Richards use to say. Ginger Rogers use to do everything FredAstaire did only she did it backwards and in high heals. There is alot of truth to this. It does not convey that I cannot compete but overthe years I have learned to live with my second categorise nature.
Coupled with all of this women undergo different burdens such as familyissues. That along with basic discrimination issues they have hadtrouble breaking through the furnish ceiling and being elevated topartner in Big Law.
Knowing all of this it shocked me when I read stating that only 34% of women are in aviate practice. This compared tothe fact that solos make up the majority of most every bar association.
The challenge is why? This is especially true because it would seemthat the aviate practice of law and especially the Third gesticulate and homeoffice practice of law would suit women attorneys so well in jugglingwork and domiciliate life. I experience it has worked wellfor both my wife and I in the care of our four children.
Could it be a lack of experience as to how the whole domiciliate office / solothing might actually benefit them? Maybe it is a lack of insurancecoverage or a lack of good insurance coverage that comfort hampers a solopractice? Most likely the latter is true in a broader sense. Asstated in Susan's post 77% of attorneys in public interestorganizations are women. 61% in educational institutions are women. While only 31% of the lawyers in Fortune 500 companies are women.
The trend seems to be a comprehend of safety security and flexibility that billing hungry Big Law and big business just cannot completely furnish. It would seem that solo learn would furnish the flexibility needed,but could be slight on the safety and security issues.
