The number of women entering the profession has increased dramatically in recent decades, and women lawyers can now be found in leadership positions in virtually every major legal institution in the country, including three female justices on the Supreme Court. And yet, the percentage of women in these top positions remains far below their representation in the profession.

Against this background, Professor David B. Wilkins, the Director of the Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession, brings us the results of the Harvard Law School Career Study. Begun with a generous grant from a visionary group of women alumnae in connection with the 55th celebration of the graduation of the school’s first female students in 1953, the study seeks to deepen the understanding of the career choices made by HLS graduates through empirical information about the career trajectories of graduates from different points in the school’s history. In particular, Professor Wilkins will highlight findings about the salient similarities and differences between the careers of Harvard Law School’s female and male graduates.
