Poking through the Defense Research Institute’s website the other night, I found a paper that might interest you regarding career paths for female trial lawyers. The title of the white paper was “A Career in the Courtroom: A Different Model of Success for Women who Try Cases.” This quote from the president’s foreword really caught my attention:
“Our clients want trial teams who look like the communities where they try cases. In my most recent trial in federal court, seven women sat on a jury of eight. If we want to communicate in the most effective way, if we truly want to represent the clients and communities we serve, we need women trying our cases.”
