The American Bar Association (ABA) has released its annual Profile of the Legal Profession with a new chapter focused on women in the law. The report shows that women are increasingly dominating the legal field, particularly in law school enrollment and associate positions. According to a press release, 41% of all U.S. lawyers are women while 56.2% of law school students are women. The report also shows that men still hold a majority of leadership roles in law firms and on the bench. Finally, the report highlights the growing diversity of the legal profession with a significant increase in lawyers of color over the past decade.
