Course Description:
This course explores how gender shapes the legal profession and its impact on policy outcomes. Since gender is more complex than a binary, we focus on how lived experience and institutional context shape gender's impact on legal outcomes both historically and contemptuously. Recognizing the impact of time and place, our focus ranges from local bar associations to high courts in both the U.S. and abroad.
