As someone who has grown up surrounded by legal folk, I am loving this law Blog by Nicole Black: http://nylawblog.typepad.com/women_lawyers/2008/03/law-firms-new-p.html for female lawyers. We know, as Black points out, there is a disparity between the percentage of women getting advanced degrees and the percentage of women in senior positions (e.g. Partner). This seems to fuel the opting out fire. However, our research shows, in fact, that some of the best balancers work in the legal field. So, clearly something good is going on there…even if it is just a few innovators leading the way. See our next 'opting out' post for more.
