Description

The author examines women lawyers' status and mobility in Quebec. After outlining the structure of the legal profession in Quebec, the author reviews women's entry into the law. Although Quebec was the last province to grant women admission to the practice of law, the province today has greater representation of women than elsewhere in North America. To illustrate the gender disparities in the contemporary Quebec legal profession, the author presents the findings of her 1999 survey of members of the Barreau du Quebec. The study reveals notable differences between men and women, particularly in terms of age, experience, remuneration, and representation in sectors of legal practice. Women lawyers tend to be less satisfied than men with the ability to balance work and personal life. Also, more women lawyers than men intend to seek new work or leave the practice of law, raising troubling issues of loss of human capital and legal talent from the profession.
