A diverse perspective strengthens the entire judicial system simply by virtue of providing different viewpoints, different backgrounds and different ways to interpret and apply the laws that govern our society. But women and minorities are still working toward equality in position, pay and representative status in Idaho's legal system. In an article for The Advocate, a publication of the Idaho State Bar, Stoel Rives attorney Nicole Hancock examines the evidence of disparity between men and women and between the majority and minorities in Idaho's lawyers. She also discusses why it matters and what can be done to improve diversity in the future.
"Are We There Yet?!? A Statistical View of Equality for Women in Idaho," was published in the January 2013 issue of The Advocate, a publication of the Idaho State Bar.
