LST Launches New Series about Women in the Law

November 20th, 2016 / By Kyle McEntee

I’m pleased to announce that Law School Transparency has a new show, Women in the Law—a podcast mini-series and related articles that examine the many professional and personal challenges that women continue to face as members of the legal profession.

The first theme is Hey Sweetie! Sexism in the Legal Workplace.

During the podcast (above), we hear from lawyers around the country about persistent sexist behavior, as well as the more pernicious implicit bias. During a roundtable discussion at Wake Forest University (below), six lawyers talk with the show’s producers about mistaken job titles, whether and how to respond to sexism in the workplace, and more.

We’ve also published several editorials on our partner websites.

• Bloomberg Big Law Business: Gender Bias in the Legal Workplace: Words Matter by Elizabeth Berenguer
• Above the Law: Sexism In The Legal Profession: Will It Ever End? by Staci Zaretsky
• The Girl’s Guide to Law School: Hey Sweetie: The Practical Impact of Sexism in the Legal Workplace (plus Podcast) by Gabriella Martin
• Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly: The Ceiling That Just Won’t Shatter by Melissa Levine-Piro

Stay tuned for new shows every week through the end of December. Future themes include the leaky pipeline, solutions, and women lawyers in the media.
