    Walking out the Door: the Facts, Figures, and Future of Experienced Women Lawyers in Private Practice

    By Roberta D Liebenberg and Stephanie A Scharf

    A report from the American Bar Association and ALM Intelligence, Walking Out the Door addresses why senior women are far more likely than men to leave the practice of law.

    Women surveyed were far more likely than men to report factors that blocked their "access to success," including lacking access to business development opportunities, being perceived as less committed to career and being denied promotion.

    This first-of-its-kind study sought to answer three related questions:

    • What are the everyday experiences that contribute to the success of women and men in big firm practice?
    • Why do experienced women stay in large firms and why do they leave?
    • What are law firms doing to advance women into the top echelons of leadership, what actually works and where is innovation needed?

    The study includes input from more than 1,200 big firm lawyers who have been in practice for at least 15 years.

    An ABA Presidential Initiative

    Why Do Women Leave the Profession?

    Achieving Long-Term Careers for Women in Law was an initiative of ABA President Hilarie Bass (2017 through 2018). The Commission has now taken up its mantle. The initiative features innovative research on legal careers using life cycle models from the fields of sociology, social psychology, and economics. The focus is on the many benefits of remaining in the profession and highlighting the career paths of senior women lawyers who continue to practice, exercise power, and inspire future generations of women lawyers.

    Forthcoming Research Reports

    The Initiative will release three more research reports: (1) a representative survey of law school alumni who graduated 20+ years ago, in order to generate a systematic understanding of the course of long-term careers for women and men in the legal profession and the professional, social, and personal factors that enhance or impede legal careers; (2) a national focus group study to understand in greater depth the personal, social, and professional factors that affect long-term careers for women lawyers and (3) a national study focusing specifically on women lawyers of color using group and individual data.

    Be the First to Know

    Sign up to be notified when the next reports from the Initiative on Long-Term Careers become available. You will be the first to review the findings and discover ways to improve the profession for women lawyers.
