The data also indicate that a powerfuldriver of this phenomenon is a perceived inability to balancethe competing demands of firm and family.

Presented by prominent women lawyers, this seminarshares practical tips on how to achieve success in the prac-tice of law while maintaining a satisfying life outside thefirm. State and federal employment laws that govern suchissues as part-time work, flexible work hours, working fromhome and other “family-friendly” employment practices willbe addressed. Moderator:Laura E.
