It’s very important to women in the legal profession that men take their full parental leave.
They don’t call it “mommy track” for nothing.

Dads in BigLaw, I want to talk to you! I have questions -- how did becoming a dad change your relationship to RTO/hybrid work? Were you "allowed" to take the allotted parental leave? Do you/can you leave early/come late to do pick up/drop off? How did becoming a dad impact importance of your comp?

And it was Christmas Eve with the tree lights flickering. The house had a new for sale sign out front. The baby slept. And I continued cranking briefs like a character setting herself up for a ghostly visit.

Lots going on—and holidays can be hard in a normal year. So we thought we’d check in with the #LadyLawyerDiaries fam. How’s everyone doing? Any fun trips or gatherings? Favorite holiday stories for the LLD annals?

Is this the 2d or 3d failed indictment? When does this become sanctionable as malicious prosecution—if not deprivation of due process, even if double jeopardy arguments unavailable at GJ stage?

So local counsel on this case may not have ever tried a case with a woman before. Yesterday he just suddenly said- I had no idea how much extra stuff you have to do as a woman. He was referencing- specifically- me having to change shoes because dress heals can’t be worn outside in snow- but still.

Great thread here from OG @lizcgil.bsky.social #LadyLawyerDiaries
I say this often to new attorneys: one of the most important things to remember is that you will NOT be a fit for every client, and that’s okay. We are human beings first, attorneys second - not the other way around. If you prioritize appealing to everyone and lose yourself, you’ve lost.

The title speaks for itself.
Law schools should NOT be the only source of #clerkship info.
Fortunately, they don’t have to be! @thelap.bsky.social Clerkships Database provides an *honest* picture of clerking.
Shame on law schools that say otherwise.

Law Schools Are Lying To Students About Judicial Clerkships - Above the Law
What do you call it when law schools withhold negative information about judges from students and try to prevent them from accessing candid clerkship information beyond the school’s approved resources...

JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:
“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”
