Women in the Law: The Real Life Experience of Practicing While Female

This talk will focus on what it's really like for women who go into the law, covering the different possibilities a law degree can offer; gender issues that arise in law school and the profession; and the opportunity and, yes, authority that a law degree can provide women.
