The National Association of Women Lawyers (NAWL) have released a report containing a new plan for the advancement of women’s legal careers. It is hoped that this report will finally increase the percentage of women in top legal positions. It has been stuck at 15 % for years, despite the same number of men and women graduate from law schools each year. The report focuses on three central points of action: allowing junior attorneys the understanding of how to climb the ranks, financially compensating senior attorneys who monitor a diverse group, and calling for accountability for the ways in which women treated and given opportunities.
