Women in the Law
February 6th, 2008
In 2007, 13 female lawyers (nine of whom are Bermudian) were called to the Bermuda Bar and are now currently practicing law on the island. In the last decade, there has been an average of 10 females called to the Bermuda Bar each year demonstrating a steady change in the profession that has historically been a predominantly masculine domain. The increasing emergence of female lawyers in Bermuda is a change consistent with worldwide trends, albeit somewhat belatedly.
