Table of ContentsReviews'John Hagan and Fiona Kay have done a remarkable job of integrating data sets from three surveys into a comprehensive and yet easy to read work...I highly recommend this book to academics and practitioners for its carefully thought-out analysis (the appendix to the work provides a convenient summary of significance tests, multiple regression, logistic regression and event history analyses) and revealing results.' Gender in Practice is an excellent research report. It contains a wealth of data which merits our attention and replication. It is well written, well thought out, and carefully considered; it is a meaningful contribution to the discipline. This book should be on the reading list of sociologists, legal scholars, legal historians, students of the judicial process, and pre-law advisors. --Law and Politics Book Review Although they focus on Canadian law practice, the findings show promise for replication in the US context....Careful analysis and valuable insights. --Choice An extraordinary account of the struggles and satisfactions of women attorneys in the changing climate of the legal profession. Challenging conventional wisdom, Hagan and Kay's book conveys the hard facts and the human side of women's progress in moving beyond the glass ceiling. --Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, Distinguished Professor at the Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York, and author of Women In Law A sound contribution to a very important scholarly and practical issue. I am confident this will be a major contribution to the field. --Carrie Menkel-Meadow, University of California Law School, Los Angeles Gender in Practice is an excellent research report.
