Females generally make up 50 percent of law school enrollment, and there are no positions in the legal profession that are off limits to females. Right now, a female lawyer is running for President of the United States. So, given that, it would seem that the concept of “gender bias” or the unfair difference in treatment of men and women because of their sex, would no longer be an issue in this day and age.

Yet, female attorneys are still reporting regular instances of conduct that falls short of gender equality, and studies and reports released annually support that gender bias is still an issue in our legal profession.
