Title: Gender in the legal profession
Description: "The history of the legal profession in Canada and elsewhere is one of the exclusion of women, Aboriginals, ethnic and racial minorities, and those from less privileged classes. Joan Brockman has studied this phenomenon intensively, conducting interviews with fifty women and fifty men who had been called to the bar in British Columbia for three to seven years. She asks why such exclusion has been practiced and what its effects have been, particularly with respect to women."--BOOK JACKET.
