The Houston Bar Association’s Gender Fairness Committee wants law firms and in-house legal departments to do more to improve gender equality.
At an event celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Gender Fairness Committee on Tuesday, co-chair Elizabeth Campbell appealed to firms and legal departments to sign a newly revised Gender Fairness Commitment Statement. The new document asks firms and legal departments to take “concrete action” to achieve such objectives as a “material increase” by 2020 in the number of women who are partners and firm leaders.
