MPR story on women of color in law firms

Elizabeth Stawicki has a good story on MPR about the difficulties faced by women of color in law firms.

"Two studies found women of color have little chance of rising to the most powerful ranks in law firms. The National Association for Legal Professionals says less than 2 percent of all partners at the nation's law firms are minority women. In Minnesota, it's less than 1 percent.

The American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession is in the midst of a nationwide study that's showing similar results."

Regrettably unsurprising.
