Where are the women in law? While making up almost 50% of junior level legal positions, women remain underrepresented in senior positions. Do you stay up late at night worrying about how to fulfill the hopes and obligations of family while advancing your career? Did you ever struggle with moving forward in your career and searching for available options? You are not alone. Many women in law have had these struggles, found their answers, and they are eager to share. Please join us for an evening with our panelists to discuss what they’ve learned and discovered, and how their stories can help you forge your own path.
