Women are being seen as the weaker sex that can persuade a courtroom to their favor by just showing a few tears and giving the idea that one must pity her. Women are being told that because of their gender, it plays a huge role in your career because there are certain things that a woman can do, that a man can't. Those “things” seem to don’t be relevant to the work that is being applied or the knowledge but just simply because of their sex in the workplace.  ]]> 2020-02-28 14:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/451982876 fernandezalbacarolina25 https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/451996366 2020-02-28 14:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/451996366 fernandezalbacarolina25 https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452004503 2020-02-28 15:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452004503 fernandezalbacarolina25 https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452010496 The National Study on the Status of Latinas in the Legal Profession had analyzed the experiences and perceptions of Latinas in the legal work environment. The study identified key strategies for success in the profession. In the legal work environment Latinas are a relatively understudied population. The first research was to analyzed and explore the experiences within their personal, cultural, and career-related contexts. These findings indicate that Latinas have followed a variety of career paths. Yet they are not represented in leadership compare to others. In order to address these obstacles, corporations should fix the hiring, attrition, and promotion rates. In addition, they should identify and communicate best practices for recruiting, retaining, and advancing Latinas in the profession.

For years most women are facing discrimination in the work environment because of the unprofessional strategies corporations used, for example, The Silicon Valley sex discrimination case is a great example where a female is claiming the discrimination and unfairness of promotion among employees. Another challenge women are dealing with is balancing between family and career. Most of the time women need to choose from career goals and family demands and they are often sacrificing one for others. Additionally, some corporations are providing “family-friendly” policies allowing employees to work part-time. However, most women lawyers are reporting this option can affect the duties and responsibilities of each case and the risk of getting a promotion in the future. Unfortunately, is hard to see how stereotypes are still shaping the legal work environment. For example one of the discrimination an attorney can face at a firm is the female attorney is misidentified as a non-lawyer by the client. This problem is even more accurate for colored and minority women lawyers. Overall, many female lawyers are still experienced unequal treatment and discrimination in the workplace and they are forcing them to leave the work profession or compromise with the inequality.

One reason that can affect the partnership of women lawyers and firms is the struggle to combine family commitments with the demands firms are requesting. Law firms should be able to do flexible schedules to accommodate childcare and to ensure that the profession remains the same or better. Furthermore, there are many employees stating that law firms should make more effort to improve the representation of women. Thirty-eight percent of respondents thought commercial firms ‘could do better’ at improving female representation, while a further 12% thought their efforts were ‘poor’. ]]> 2020-02-28 15:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452013637 fernandezalbacarolina25 https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452020246 2020-02-28 15:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452020246 fernandezalbacarolina25 https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452026910 As demonstrated in the Wall Street Journal by (Waller, 2016), Even though men and women work side by side, there is still a very different work environment. Data shows that men win better promotions, challenging assignments, and more access to top leadership. A significant amount of women are saying that gender has been a big factor in missed raises and promotions. “These are the conclusions of a major new study of working women conducted by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Co. In one of the largest studies to date on this topic, researchers during the first half of this year gathered data on promotions, attrition and career outcomes at 132 global companies, and they surveyed 34,000 men and women at those companies on their experiences at work. The disparity begins at entry-level, where men are 30% more likely than women to be promoted to management roles”.

Having bad management, inequality, and not promoting them to a higher level. However, as Ms. Berkner states, “If all the clients of law firms said, ‘you’d better be diverse or we won’t hire you’, the next day the numbers would double”. The client could definitely be the most effective pressure to change the inequality among men and women in the work environment. According to Roberta Liebenberg, a senior partner at Philadelphia firm Fine, Kaplan and Black, agrees. “Clients are where the im­petus will come from. If clients demand that law firms reflect the diversity they require because it is important to their shareholders and customers, that will really move the needle.”

No matter the reason, the bottom line is that we still have some significant ground to cover when it comes to women having a truly meaningful presence in our profession. How do we overcome this extreme discrepancy and grab our place at the shareholder table? The answer is to bring in new business. However, women can make more changes if she’s at the top of the pole. They should look for new strategies to bring new businesses. This strategy can allow women to hire, run a business, and implement the changes at a firm.

There are many investigations about legal conceptions and legal perceptions in six Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The study was based on a survey of equal numbers of men and women working in prosecutor's offices and courts at different levels, from legal assistants in law firms to Supreme Court magistrates in all six countries. The results showed "common problems, and also particular characteristics in each country," Caicedo said during the presentation. The studied shows that the majority of judges and prosecutors were men. In addition, In Bolivia, men make up 61 percent of judges and prosecutors; in Argentina, 64 percent; in Peru, 65 percent; in Ecuador, 83 percent; in Colombia, 52 percent; and in Chile, 56 percent. Overall, the study did not analyze if having more women employed in the justice system was going to improve the rights of women but it did not ensure changes in the way the law is applied in each country.

People are being discriminated against for many different reasons, such as a woman being “too masculine” or a man being “too feminine”. An employee or employer should not be judged or seen as less for their gender, femininity, masculinity, sexual orientation or any further, other than the work they produce and the ethics they communicate within a professional setting. Because this is an issue that we experience to date, the court system requires a significant amount of evidence to determine whether your claim is legitimate. It becomes hard to supply evidence when a form of harassment can be verbal and have no witnesses.]]> 2020-02-28 23:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452280923 fernandezalbacarolina25 https://padlet.com/fernandezalbacarolina25/9h5y0owqoa7k/wish/452281870 Women are still facing the old stereotypes and glass ceiling in their careers. According to Deborah Rhode, a professor at Standard Law School issued a report and states, "Women are still overrepresented at the bottom and underrepresented at the top”. There are many barriers women face at a workplace, such as a few networking opportunities, a shortage of child-friendly work schedules, as well as persistent stereotypes and cultural biases. The glass ceiling is higher than it was 20 years ago. Women are now deans of law schools, managing partners of law firms and federal judges, but the numbers remain remarkably small. Even though there are still a big amount of women facing discrimination and inequality, I believe is important to stay optimistic about the future.
