Bias in the Bar: Unpacking Gender Stigma (and other stigmas that suck) w/ Professor Amanda Fisher
In this episode of Breaking the Law, we dive into the tough realities of gendered stigma in the legal profession with Professor Amanda Fisher who holds both a JD and a Ph.D.
Her groundbreaking dissertation shines a light on the subtle and not-so-subtle biases that women lawyers face daily—and what can be done about it. Through compelling stories from women who’ve been burned by the traditional legal system, we unpack the pervasive gender biases that continue to hold the profession back.
But it’s not all doom and gloom, Professor Fisher brings hope to the table, sharing actionable strategies for combatting stigma and paving the way for real change.
Can we truly "break the law" when it comes to gender bias, or is the system too entrenched? Tune in as we explore whether the fight for equality is hopeless—or whether there's a path forward for all of us.
