Upon entering the legal profession, I am acutely aware that women are in the minority. This is based on the number of women I've seen at my school and in my limited legal experience, as well as the treatment towards women and women's attitudes in the field. There are double standards for women, and women are often reluctant to address this. Starting from law school, it seems that women are more apprehensive to discuss the topic of law at all. Law school rewards confidence and aggressiveness, it seems, and unfortunately these traits are often more pronounced in men at school. However, the field of public interest is, in a lot of ways, contrary to corporate law and public interest carries a different set of attitudes towards women in the legal field. Public interest, as a result, is a more desirable field for women to be in, for a lot of reasons, and may be the source of change that is so desperately needed.
