It also is a collection of 48 letters from successful women lawyers who have used these principles to advance in their careers. These women share their advice, insight, and experience as a female attorney who has achieved success in the practice of law, and this diverse group represents solo practice; small, medium, and large firms; government; nonprofits; and corporations.
