Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 2pm – Mothers in the Law: Confronting the Challenges and Celebrating the Victories
FREE ABA Webinar – Find more & register here. Earlier this summer an ABA Journal article caused an uproar when its author suggested that once women lawyers become mothers, they fail to pay attention to their career trajectories and lose focus on professional success. This panel will discuss the institutional challenges, societal expectations and unconscious biases faced by lawyer moms, as well as the steps that can be taken to succeed as both a lawyer and a mom.
