The legal landscape for women continues to present many obstacles and recent reports suggest that women attorneys will suffer the most in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. These obstacles are not new but our response to them should be. Hear from the authors of the American Bar Association’s landmark study, “Walking Out the Door,” which examined why women leave the law. Learn why culture and unwritten rules can make the business of law so challenging for women and gain valuable strategies from our esteemed panel that all attorneys — especially women — can use to develop and thrive in the profession.
