Abstract

[Extract] Nearly twenty years ago, the Australian Law Reform Commission, in its report "Equality before the Law: Women’s Equality (ALRC Report 69 Part 2)" examined the place of Women in the Legal Profession, and said

Women make up 50% of law school graduates, and 25% of the legal profession as a whole. However, women leave the profession at a much higher rate than men, and they are clustered in the lower ranks of the profession. [footnotes omitted]

Fast forward two decades and the VEOHRC has released its latest report into research on women in the law, entitled Changing the rules: The experiences of female lawyers in Victoria. This report focused on discrimination, sexual harassment and the accommodation of parental and carer responsibilities.
