The latest findings on equitable briefing for male and female barristers show that there is still a long way to go in addressing the professional, cultural and environmental issues creating disparity – and lawyers across the board have a role to play in achieving said parity.
On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by barrister and chair of the Law Council of Australia’s equal opportunity committee, Kate Eastman SC, to unpack the second annual Equitable Briefing Policy report, discuss reactions and reflections, and outline what those in BigLaw, in-house and other legal demographics can to do ensure that briefing practices are as equitable as possible.
