Today is International Women's Day, which recognizes the social, economic, political and cultural achievements of women and commits to the acceleration towards true equality for all women and girls. In a statement released today, American Bar Association President Deborah Enix-Ross says the legal profession has much work to do to reach gender equity. Women make up only 38% of all lawyers and only 12% of managing partners, she observes. She calls on the legal community to work for faster progress. “Lawyers are committed to justice and fairness. We have a vital role to play in effecting positive change. On this day, all members of the legal community need to recommit themselves to achieving gender equity.”
