Welcome to FemaleLawyer.com. My name is Elizabeth Grimaldi and this is my website. Throughout my life I
have grown up around, and learned to love the law. I
have a family filled with attorneys, making myself the
sixth person to be attending law school. While working
at my family’s law firm over the years, and at an
Internet marketing company since 2001, I realized that
there were a lot of issues to talk about pertaining to
the law school application process and women in law.
Recognizing that there was a new powerful media format
that can be utilized to promote these issues and ideas
to a larger audience, I invested years of research and
work into formulating FemaleLawyer.com. I am currently
a student at Villanova Law School and I am in my final
year.
If
you have begun any part of the application process for
law school you have probably realized that it is not
going to be an easy task to complete. I remember when I
first started to research law school I felt very
overwhelmed. What is the LSDAS? What is the LSAT, and
how important is it to law schools? If you need answers
to questions like these, then you have found the perfect
website. Over the past few years I have done extensive
research for FemaleLawyer.com in order to provide
students like you, with the best possible law school
application resource. I have organized all the
pre-law information I gathered into a comprehensive
outline, where you can find all the relevant references
you will need. FemaleLawyer.com will enable you to
move through the application process more easily and
quickly.
In
addition to a law school application resource, I have
created a section titled Women and Law - Controversy and
Discrimination. This section is dedicated to informing
visitors about the issue of unequal treatment of women
practicing in the legal profession. Currently,
acceptance rates to law school for women are almost
equal in number with males; however, once practicing
law, women tend to receive fewer opportunities for
advancement, making up only 15.8 percent of partners at
major law firms. In my opinion, this issue needs to be
addressed by both people in the legal profession as well
as anybody interested in promoting equality for women.
It
is my goal of this website to provide you, as a student
or peer, with a documented path through the law school
application process, and to educate people about the
serious issues that prevail for women in the workings of
the legal profession. If you have any questions about
the application process or women in law, feel free to
email me. I would be happy to answer them all for you. |
