This panel seeks to explore such issues as the impact of gender on scholarship ranking, the statistical importance of intersectionality in advancing women of color within legal academia, disparity in equal opportunity for women professors and women attorneys, and employment practices that have led to the systemic pay and status disparity of women in the legal profession.
PANEL 2: WOMEN IN PUBLIC INTEREST
This panel will focus on such themes as the socialization of women into caregiving roles, burnout, the difficulties in managing non-profit organizations and in advocating for oneself in underfunded organizations, and the lack of ABA data on leadership, compensation, and job satisfaction in the public interest sector.
