Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The article examines the persistent gender bias against women trial attorneys and litigators, highlighting the historical roots of this issue, presenting empirical data on its impact, and proposing solutions to address it. It argues that despite progress in gender equality, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles within the legal profession due to both overt and implicit biases.
