Hinckley Allen’s Post

100% agree with Daralyn that a lot of this is on the clients. Recently at a conference, “someone” (Chatham House rules) offered a provocative question as to why any in-house counsel would ever hire a female IP litigator given these lists. My thought was, well, in the last 12 months, I had a 100% female team achieve a full defense trial victory for me, and a 100% male team get dinged by a 9-digit damages verdict. So there’s that. And let me offer a slight suggestion that more can and must be done across the pipeline. Yes, clients must hire better. And firms must promote, support, and encourage better. And courts can play a part in a more intentional way. And we should all please stop supporting the proliferation of all these stupid vanity lists (clients don’t care. See above). And while we’re at it, we should kill the billable hour and all the evil metrics tied to it (woe to you, realization rate!).

I think, we need to re-think about the subject... Are we striving to achieve the very goal of women empowerment? OR Are we trying to bring them par to men? OR Are we heading towards an unbalanced situation, where we are trying to make it a regular fashion that women are superior to men? It should be treated meticulously, so we have a balanced structure. In my opinion when we talk of Gender, which is largely a social construct...The solution largely lies in Equity & Equality. Equal treatment to all, considering the fact we all are human. This is the conclusion of all the debates.
