Very few minority women stay in law because they are treated differently then men and experience racism and discrimination. These women are judged not just solely on their gender but their ethnicity also, which makes it twice as worse. Just because someone is a minority doesn't mean that they give you permission to talk down on them or to look down on them, they are a person just like everyone else and they should be treated with respect no matter what. There are several minority women that try to advance themselves but when they get their cases their clients don't treat them right and they end up leaving because they are being mistreated. The stories of NPR relfect the frustration that former women lawyers have had with their law firms and the legal system as a whole. Even though we are supposed to be living in a society that is supposed to be equal we are instead facing and allowing males to chastise women. Many women leave because they are being mistreated and many times it is planned by the men because they want them to leave. They are either given a hard case or cases that they will continuely lose only because they are being discriminated against. Many women noticed that even if they were a minority that gave from a great prestigious school they would still be treated worse than a white male or female from a state school. These women work hard at what they do, and they should also be praised but unfortunately they are being mistreated and they are being pushed out of the legal system just because many males believe they are not equal to thm. Especially in the legal system there should not be an inequality because we go to the legal system for justice so what are they supposed to do when the inequality and unjustice is inside the system itself. It should not be the color of your skin or the gender that allows you to succeed or not it should rely on your ability to be good at what you do.
