Early Post-Law School Careers of Women and Men Lawyers in U.S. and German Cities
Authors: John Hagan, Gabriele Plickert, Patricia Parker, Hans Merkens
This research is expanding a national U.S. study of lawyers (the American Bar Foundation’s After the JD study) to include two cities in Germany – Frankfurt and Berlin. This will be a comparative study of the entry and advancement of women and men lawyers in the business and political capitals of these two countries. The project extends ongoing comparative research on the legal profession in the U.S. and Canada to Germany.
