3 While some believe A study by the National Association for Law Placement found that many firms attribute their low percentage of women to a “ ‘pipeline’ issue, reasoning that the number will increase as more females enter the profession.” Stephanie Francis Ward, “Few Women Get Partnerships,” ABA Journal E-Report, February 6, 2004. A chairman of the Massachusetts Judicial Nominating Commission similarly argued, “We do not get a high proportion of women in the pipeline compared to men.” Eileen McNamara, “Backtracking on the Bench,” Boston Globe, February 6, 2005, p. B1. Deborah Rhode notes that “the most common explanation is that women’s underrepresentation is the product of cultural lag; current inequalities are viewed as a legacy of discriminatory practices that are no longer legal, and it is only a matter of time until us girls catch up. However, this pipeline theory cannot explain the extent of underrepresentation of women leaders in fields like law, where they have long constituted over a third of new entrants.” Deborah L. Rhode, “Keynote Address: The Difference ‘Difference’ Makes,” Maine Law Review 55 (2003): 17.
