Women to Women: In-House Counsels Learn Strategies to Boost Women in Legal Profession

Influential women lawyers from all sectors of the legal profession will share their insight on the role of in-house counsel in advancing women lawyers at “Capture Your Power—Your Role in Advancing Women in the Legal Profession,” April 28 at Temple University Center City in Philadelphia.

Sponsored by the American Bar Association Commission on Women in the Profession, the one-day event is designed to help in-house women lawyers from the mid-Atlantic region reach a greater understanding of their power to create change.  Panelists at the summit will discuss how corporate lawyers can influence gender diversity by requiring law firms to provide data on diversity and requesting that both work and credit go to women outside counsel.
