This article first appeared in the February 2007 issue of LJN's Product Liability Law & Strategy. Within her article, Sandra discusses the under-representation of women in courtrooms around the country, the barriers to take into consideration, the lack of female role models and mentors within law firms, the systematic exclusion of women in both law firms and the courtroom and gender bias, amongst other topics.
