Women in law in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Women work in the legal profession and related occupations throughout Canada, as lawyers (also called barristers, attorneys or legal counselors), prosecutors, judges, legal scholars, law professors and law school deans. In Canada, while 37.1% of lawyers are women, "50% ...said they felt their [law] firms were doing "poorly" or "very poorly" in their provision of flexible work arrangements".[2] It was also reported that, in 2006 in Ontario, "racialized women accounted for 16% of all lawyers under 30" and that only 1% of lawyers were Aboriginal.[2]
