Females In Law Firms

By: John Chambers

Two years were needed by a lady lawyer to convince her law firm to let her try a case in court and it was about a multiple sclerosis victim with burns on his buttocks from a heating pad, no one wanted it.

This lady lawyer is one of the most successful female personal injury lawyers in the country at 37 years of age and by winning a verdict against the doctor who prescribed the pad even though MS patients lack heat sensitivity she shocked her firm.

When it comes to the Inner Circle of Advocates, an exclusive club reserved for powerful plaintiffs' lawyers, she was the first woman that they accepted and she has seven damage awards of more than $1 million under her belt.

She likes to do battle in court instead of remaining safely inside an office because this mother of three likes a bit of combat. She will not be anything like the stereotypical plaintiffs' lawyers like the king of torts or the cowboy hat wearing lawyer known for their booming voices and courtroom theatrics for she is quiet and reserved.

You can attribute two images to trial lawyers namely the traditional one and the image of what a successful trial lawyer should be. She said that she's far from that image and she knows that.

Based from what she said, people will be better off if they just be themselves when in court. The money she has and her acceptance into the Inner Circle which is limited to 100 lawyers all came from her simply being herself. If a lawyer has been able to bring at least 25 cases to trial and win at least one jury award of $1 million or more, he or she will be accepted.

Married to a prominent personal injury lawyer, her husband is also part of the club considering that he has 38 verdicts of more than $1 million. This is one advantageous elite group where the members can share information about various cases and get to refer lucrative businesses to each other.

Because she was a woman, they did not want to take her in at first as mentioned by the Tucson, Arizona lawyer who founded the Inner Circle. Eventually, her being a tough and sharing lawyer is what got her in.

When it comes to the group which was founded in 1972, they do not discriminate against women considering how it has only been in the past three years that members knew of women who qualified.

Pursued by a very few women is this kind of work.
In your hands is a very tough, mean business here. Although more women are becoming personal injury trial lawyers, this area of law is still hard to break into for them.

Here, it is a game of socialization. A courtroom is like an organized sport or a battle ground even where you have a clear adversarial relationship, some of which will continue after the fight is over. The challenge for women is dealing with that on-going fight.

Most of the time, the male dominated firms are reluctant in giving women opportunities when it comes to this line of work. By getting cases, you can strive for success. It took her two years to get this case that nobody was willing to take.
