Delighted to share that I have yet completed another course 'Understanding the Rights of Girls and Women' course with the YALI Network!

However, they still account for only 23% of equity partners, underscoring the ongoing challenges in achieving gender parity at senior levels.

Gender diversity in the judiciary is not just a matter of representation; it's about ensuring fair and empathetic justice. A justice system without women can't fully address the unique challenges women face. #GenderEquality #JusticeForWomen @IndianExpress @CHRI @IndiaJusticeReport

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!).
