Perspectives 

The Quarterly Magazine for and about Women Lawyers

For decades, studies have demonstrated that women lawyers are not paid at the same level as their male counterparts.  In August 2012, ABA President Laurel G. Bellows appointed a blue-ribbon ABA Task Force on Gender Equity to recommend solutions for eliminating gender bias in the legal profession, with a principal focus on the disparity in compensation between male and female partners.  Toward this end, the Task Force implemented a series of projects to promote gender equity.

All of these publications and materials are available for downloading at no cost on the Task Force website.
