Working from home to juggle childcare no longer raises a cloud of suspicion, and Zoom is giving women easier access to the board room.

Those are just some of the hidden advantages the COVID-19 pandemic has created for women attorneys, according to an October 18 webinar, “Leveling the Playing Field During the Pandemic: Creative Opportunities for Women Lawyers.”

Sponsored by the Gender Equality Subcommittee of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, the webinar was the first in a speaker series designed to fulfill the recommendations of a 2017 gender equality report.
