Young Professionals, Especially Lawyers, Have a Role to Play in #MeToo

When allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein were first published in the New York Times last year, few knew that society was about to embark on a broad conversation about power, sexuality, and consent. In the months that followed, the ousting of many other powerful men (and women) in journalism, performing arts, startup companies, and, of course, politics, has caused men and women to reflect on their own actions in and outside of the workplace. Unfortunately, this is a conversation that was and is desperately needed in the legal industry as well.
