This Symposium will feature three panel sessions and keynote speaker Stephanie Scharf (The Red Bee Group)

The Symposium on the Status of Women in the Law will present an overview of the history and progress of women in the legal profession since the first woman was admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 1882. The speakers, panel members and our nationally recognized keynote speaker represent seasoned members of the profession from diverse practice areas. The program will address the pivotal issues of the day including whether gender bias persists; where women have found success; why senior women often leave the profession; where gaps remain in the career trajectories of men and women; and how, given the enormous changes in the demographics of the profession, do we best move forward in these unpredictable times.

Over the course of the day, we hope attendees enrich our discussion with their participation and stay after the program to network with each other and our presenters. The reception will be held in the Quinnipiac University School of Law Student Lounge area on the 3rd floor, where the “Women in Black” exhibit of Connecticut judges and magistrates frames the space.

*Up to 4.25 CT CLE Credits are available
