Not a Pretty Picture: The Status of Women Lawyers at Large Law Firms

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS
TechnoLawyer Blog has some depressing statistics about women lawyers in large law firms.  Is it really possible that one-third of women PARTNERS report being bullied by colleagues?  Or that three-quarters of the top firms have no women partners in their top money-making tiers?  [Yes, it is.  The link is here!]

I'm willing to stipulate for the record that many large law firms impose inhumane working conditions on all of their attorneys, whether male or female, even if these same attorneys knowingly and voluntarily assume the risk of such treatment and are extremely well compensated for their suffering.  Yet on the eve of the Kagan nomination to the Supreme Court, it seems to me that the statistics about the sorry treatment of women lawyers signal that macho culture is alive and well at many large law firms.
