According to the 2014 National Association of Women Lawyers Survey on Retention and Promotion of Women in Law Firms, since the mid-1980s, more than 40 percent of law school graduates have been women. Consistent with this number, the National Association for Law Placement reports that women accounted for 45 percent of summer associates in 2013. Sounds promising, right?
In stark contrast to these statistics, NAWL reports that, in 2013, women made up approximately 17 percent of equity partners, continue to be given less credit than men for client origination, and earn 85 percent to 95 percent of what male equity partners earn.
