I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this

Of note, we were not able to analyze intersectional data with race because there were so few attorneys of color. A key finding in and of itself.

The proportion of women attorneys at trial increased somewhat from 2005 to 2019, but where they practice law mattered. Women were more underrepresented at trial in regions where people implicitly or explicitly endorse traditional gender roles associating men with career and women with family. (3/4)

Despite making up nearly half of graduating law students since 2000, women made up only 17% of attorneys at trial. They were even more underrepresented in leadership roles (delivering opening/closing statements). 2/4

We analyzed hundreds of civil trials across the country. Here is what we found (1/4):
