Unit D Blog #33

Woman have made many advances in the law industry since joining the professional workforce. While there has been much progress made, there is also still room for much improvement. We will take a little time in this blog to discuss the advancement of women in the field of law. Yes, woman have began to take many positions of power in the United States within big time corporations and law firms. Woman have also began to make more money than they have in the past, although these are hardly things to brag about considering our country is based off of everybody being "equal." There are signs of good news however, as a second woman has received a spot on the Supreme Court, making the ratio of women to men the highest it has ever been within that court system. This is in fact a good sign because it gives women everywhere the understanding that if they work hard, they can actually achieve the highest goals, which in the fact may have seemed a little impossible in the past. It is completely biased and unfair that women have not had equal access to fair wages and positions in comparison to men. This being said, the progress that has been made is remarkable, no matter how much of a double edged sword this statement may be. It is hard to be proud of something that should not be something that we aspire to, but rather something that we have had all along. But since this is not the case, we must enjoy the progress that we have seen women make up to this point, and realize that we take for granted some of the opportunities that we have today, no matter how unfair that may be.
