The advancement of woman in our justice system is nothing short of amazing. It was not very long ago that anything related to the justice field was nothing but men. They would be the ones that were sitting on the judge’s bench. They were the ones you would contact when you needed legal advice. They were the ones you spoke with when you needed an attorney. The justice system was just run by men. Fast forward to today and you still deal with many men in our justice system it still quite a bit of a ratio of men to women, however, the presence of women in the justice system is becoming more and more prevalent. As our country moves continuously moves forward to a more equal bipartisan type view on employment and gender women will continue to make an impact and overall movement into the justice field for a career. Now to this day even though they are moving and making more of an approach into the career they still have quite a few boundaries that they have to deal with. One of the biggest deals that they have the face is those attorneys who still think they are not capable of doing the job of an attorney. There are many old school attorneys out there that think just because they are a female they are not cut out for this sort of work. I remember reading about an attorney who was fired multiple times from many different practices. The reason she was fired was because she was not forceful enough when dealing with cases. She knew her job very well, she could manage and handle things very well but when it came down to it she was not able to stand up to her clients at times even when deciding it was in the best interest of them, and they were wanting to go the other way. Either way, they have come a long way but still have a lot of challenges ahead of them in this field of work.
