![Gender Bias as the Norm in the Legal Profession: It's Still a [White] Man's Game](/media/cover_images/75524cf3-72ef-4517-a1f4-6ad1a81babab.jpg)
Abstract
Women consistently represent over fifty percent of entering law school classes, and one-third of all lawyers in the United States. As more women go to law school and practice as attorneys, two major impediments prevent women from climbing hierarchical ladders in the legal profession. This article examines gender and racially gendered bias in the legal profession, including law schools. It argues that until the existing structure is dismantled, women will continue to face gender and racially gendered bias in the legal profession.
