Though men and women enter the legal profession in equal numbers, women attorneys are underrepresented in courtrooms and on the partnership level at law firms across country. The national statistics show there is a clear disparity between men and women in the legal profession. According to the American Bar Association Commission on Women in the Profession, women make up more than half of the population, over 59% of the workforce, and over 55% of all law students, yet are outnumbered by men in every aspect of the law past the associate level.
