Powerful Women Reflect on Their Successes

Women constitute a significant percentage of the lawyers in law firms, corporate legal departments, and government, and have represented approximately 50 percent of law school graduates for more than 25 years.  They are positioned to exercise power and influence and effectuate change.  But, most women lawyers are not exercising power.  A panel of powerful women lawyers discussed how they made it to the top during “Women and Power:  Getting Ambitious About Ambition,” a program presented by the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession.
