These days, the law is the only industry where women are underrepresented. Women who wanted a career in law but were too shy to apply to law school might have to settle for something like medical billing. The job market is tough for the female lawyer, especially in the legal industry. If you’re not married yet and you’re single, you might be good at something like accounting, because you don’t need to ask permission to work in the legal industry.
In a recent survey by the National Partnership for Women in Law, a huge majority (82 percent) of women found it hard to get a job in the legal industry. The reasons for this include being single and underrepresented in the legal industry, the high turnover rate in the legal field, and the fact that a woman in the legal field is more likely to be a lawyer herself. At the end of the day, the law firm scene is still dominated by men.
To be honest this is probably the most female-dominated area of the legal industry, but I think it’s also probably the most interesting. The fact is, while the majority of lawyers are women, there are surprisingly few opportunities for women to become lawyers. The National Partnership for Women in Law is a wonderful organization that has been helping women get into the law since the 1990s. The problem is that most of the lawyers in the legal field are men.
Connell is one of the few firms to hire women. It is run by a woman, so it’s not like the gender disparity in the legal field is unique. But it’s still a shame because there are so few women in the legal field. And unfortunately, the legal community isn’t very welcoming of women as lawyers.
The other thing that doesn’t seem to bother you is that the men in the law are very well rounded in their attitudes. For instance, I have a woman who was hired by a man to be my lawyer with no more than a few weeks in the job. She’s been hired but I’m not sure if she’s a lawyer or a psychologist, though she is my lawyer, so I don’t know if she is a psychologist or a psychologist-type of lawyer.
No one says that women are better than men, but they are generally much better than men.
Women lawyers are great! When I was in law school I learned that when you are seeking a job, you want to be seeking a job and not a career. When you are seeking a job, if a lawyer isn’t available in your area, you should look elsewhere, and that includes going to law school. You shouldn’t be seeking an attorney in your first job.
This is a good point. I am just now thinking about how, at my age, it is important to know who you are hiring. If you are hiring a lawyer then you are hiring a lawyer. If you are hiring a computer programmer then you are hiring a computer programmer. If you are hiring a doctor then you are hiring a doctor.
What do you think that makes it so different from a lawyer?I don’t know. I think that it makes it so different from a lawyer. A lawyer might be a lawyer, a computer programmer, a doctor, or a doctor. And a computer programmer might be a computer programmer, a doctor, and a doctor. Both attorneys are attorneys. A lawyer doesn’t have to know what he or she does to be a lawyer. A computer programmer does.
