Professor Joan Williams and the Project for Attorney Retention Release the Report "New Millenium, Same Glass Ceiling?"

The report, New Millenium, Same Glass Ceiling? The Impact of Law Firm Compensation Systems on Women, by Professor Joan Williams and Veta Richardson was released by the Project for Attorney Retention and the Minority Corporate Counsel Association.

Based on a survey of nearly 700 women law firm partners, the report concludes that existing compensation systems for lawyers open the door to gender bias because they contain tremendous subjectivity, lack transparency, and because so much of the negotiation surrounding salaries takes place out of sight.
