Some Thoughts on the State of Women Lawyers and Why Title Vii Has Not Worked for Them |
44 Indiana Law Review 685 (2011) |
I graduated from law school in 1989-over twenty years ago. At the time I graduated, my law school class was close to 50% female, which was a fairly common phenomenon at the time across the country.
