Nassau County, N.Y., DA Kathleen Rice on Tuesday defended her decision to let go a dozen part-time women prosecutors unless they agree to work full time. The part-timers are all mothers, though the DA's office says that some have older children. Rice's decision "shows that family is not an important item on her agenda," says the state Women's Bar Association president. But Rice called the statement a "knee-jerk reaction" that fails to recognize the steps she has taken to place women in senior positions.
