More on Best Firms for Women
As I’ve previously noted on my blog CounseltoCounsel, Working Women magazine is out with it’s second annual list of best law firms for Women. I pointed out in that post that it is important to keep lists like this in perspective.
This week, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly highlights the complexity of the question (i.e. “Is this a good firm for women?”) The article points out that two of the firms on last year’s list have since been sued for sexual discrimination by their associates. Despite this, one of the firms appeared on the 2008 list again. The other firm claims that it did not apply to be on the list because the application process was too cumbersome. Hmmm. Again, the takeaway is that rankings should only be one of many factors to consider when making career decisions.
While I do believe that rankings like this can promote better workplace policies, it is important to learn how those policies are working in practice.
