Progress glacial for women, minorities; but the recession hits white male associates the hardest
Article Abstract:
The nation's top 251 law firms were surveyed to determine the proportion of women and minorities at the associate and partner levels. Results indicate that the number of women and minorities at the associate level is increasing in spite of an overall decrease in the number of associates due to the recession. However, partnership is still predominantly a white male preserve. Thirty-seven percent of associates are women and 6.8% minorities. Of partners, 89% are men and 97.6% are white.

Minorities find firm with a place for them
Article Abstract:
Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman of Detroit, MI, is cited as a law firm with a deep commitment to its minority partners, as shown by its campaign to overturn the color bar at the Detroit Athletic Club. By contrast, Chicago firm Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather & Geraldson has had a number of minority lawyers leave the firm, prompting a reevaluation of its treatment of minorities and the appointment of a minority liaison.
