The Man-Shaped Woman Attorney

Today we are sharing our recent conversation with Christina Blacklaws, the President of The Law Society of England and Wales, (the equivalent of our American Bar Association). Throughout her career, Christina has been a champion for gender equality in law, alternative fee arrangements, and awareness of mental health issues in law. In our conversation, we discuss when and why women drop out of the profession, the impact of millennials in the work-place, and what she means by the concept of the “man-shaped woman” attorney.
