Join us for this important program with Andrea S. Kramer, Partner in McDermott Will & Emery LLP, on how understanding gender stereotypes allows law students and lawyers to find effective ways to work around stereotypes, eliminate bias and improve gender diversity in the legal profession.  Andie will discuss how students and lawyers can benefit from learning the “rules” of the gender communications game to substantially improve their professional status. She identifies the differences between the gender communication styles of many men and women, offering tips for eliminating bias and leveling the playing field using common relevant business scenarios. 

Andrea is the author of several articles published in the WBAI’s Newsletters in 2011 and 2014, including “Professional Advancement and Gender Stereotypes:  The ‘Rules’ for Better Gender Communications^” and “Taking Control:  Women, Gender Stereotypes and Impression Management.”  She is also a co-author of the ABA’s Presidential Task Force on Gender Equity’s guide on “What You Need to Know About Negotiating Compensation.” 

Boxed lunches from Blue Plate will be provided.
