The Ms JD Corner:

Our friends at Ms JD are teaming up with the Levo League to bring you the best of both worlds— perspectives on business from women in law, and perspectives on law from women in business!

Here are our favorites from Ms JD’s recent publications.

1. Women Battle Law Firm Bias: As many women in the legal profession read from Vivien Chen of Careerist, female legal partners are still at dismally low levels. Read Ms. JD’s perspectives.

2. A Firm of their Own - Ever wondered what it’s like to work at a law firm founded by women? Get your fix here.

3. The Grateful Attorney - One of the many trials and tribulations brought to the legal profession by the Recession is a world of lawyers-for-hire and temporary doc review workers paid by the hour. Ms. JD’s got an unemployed lawyer as well, and she’s sharing her experiences. Read all about them.

4. Rain Check: Sowing the Seeds of Rainmaking - An introduction to a series that will be providing commentary and advice (and a few war stories) on rainmaking from a woman’s perspective.
