Ms. JD Weekly Round-up: Week Ending December 14, 2012

When will there be enough women on the Supreme Court?  When there's 9 women! (according to Justice Ginsburg!)

There's a new club in the UK trying to combat the issue of women's under-representation in partnership - it's called the 30% club.  We'll see if it makes change.

Want to retain women in your firm?  The higher the number of female supervisors, the higher the probability of promotion for women and the less likely it is that they will leave according to research from UPenn.  So, let them lead!  Join our conversation about women's leadership on twitter by using the hashtag #SheLeads.

A reader alerted us to this piece that's a great read: Backwards and In Heels: Why Women Make Better Attorneys.

Congratulations to Ms. JD Sponsor Munger Tolles & Olson on their new partnership class - 75% of whom are women.
