If I had a dollar for every time I heard those involved in law firm professional development and marketing departments say they wanted to 'exploit' their women to achieve business-development objectives, I'd be contributing to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
<b>Op-Ed:</b> 'I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar' ' or Not!
With the exception of about 15 firms nationwide, there are no solid programs that truly benefit women in law firms. Yes, many firms list their women in law programs on their Web sites, and several tout their programs as being at the forefront of the movement, but this is not the reality. While there are lots of women in law firm programs, most of them merely exist to 'paint a picture' that will demonstrate to clients that they are diverse. For all intensive purposes, this is a joke ' and the joke is on the women in these firms. Is it any wonder that many women leave law firms to either go in-house or leave the profession entirely?
