Glass Ceiling
Show #1308

They now make up fully half of the law school graduates around New Jersey and the nation. Then why do they still seem to lag behind when it comes to "making it" in private practice? If private firm partnerships are a gauge of success, how do you account for the fact that only 26% of all partners are women, while only 16% of equity partners are female? On this edition of Due Process, Sandra King reports on a woman who opted out of a big firm to form her own women-only firm. Her reason: the glass ceiling.

And in the studio, Raymond Brown moderates a spirited debate with Peggy Sheahan Knee, president of the New Jersey State Bar Association; Rosemary Alito, a high profile partner who have cracked the glass ceiling.
