Description

Research shows that there are significant gaps in diversity in more senior roles in the legal profession. Although women are graduating with law degrees and entering legal careers at higher rates than men, significantly fewer women continue into senior positions within the legal profession. The IBA’s Legal Policy & Research Unit (LPRU) has undertaken an international research study to address diversity within the legal profession.
