New study: Law firms discriminate against minority women

In a startling revelation, a report published by the American Bar Association accuses law firms of discriminating women in the workforce, especially minority women. According to the report "Visible Invisibility, Women of Color in Law Firms," eighty-one percent of minority women attorneys quit private law firms within five years because they are restricted to low-level assignments with little hope of advancement. This contrasts sharply with their white male counterparts, who quickly rise through the ranks at America's top law firms.
