My only complaint about the book's format is that copies of their questionnaires are nowhere to be found. The questionnaires, or maybe the subject matter itself, was of obvious interest to these Canadian lawyers and would be of interest to me. The legal profession in Ontario, as in the U.S., is restructuring. The partnership class is shrinking. Both men and women are affected, but women are affected more.
Discrimination exists in hiring.
Those with contacts do better than those without contacts. More men have contacts than women. Men who lack contacts attribute this deficiency to be the most serious drawback in obtaining a first job. Women attribute their most serious drawback to be their gender, followed by marital status. The effects of grades are greater for women than for men.
