My law school class is 60% female, but we still need a women's student group.

I am fortunate to attend a law school where women are the majority. At Boalt Hall, approximately 60% of the students are women. Because of these numbers, I escaped many of the law school stereotypes, such as men speaking more often in class, or getting more face time with the professors. Perhaps these things do occur, however it is my perception that such gender stereotypes are not pervasive at Boalt Hall. In fact, some of my male classmates have complained that women are smarter, work harder, and get better grades, thus hurting their chances of performing well when graded on a curve.

A more common complaint about the female majority involves the Boalt Hall Women's Association (BHWA). As an active general member and former board member, I often hear, "Why does Boalt need a women's association?"
