Hollywood on Trial: Female Attorneys in Pop Culture

  • Webinar

In honor of International Women’s Day, we welcomed Elizabeth Weitzman, author and film critic, to discuss the role that entertainment and pop culture have had in shaping society’s views about women, especially in law.

Donna Parisi, Global Head of Finance and FinTech and leader of our Women’s Initiatives program, moderated a conversation with Elizabeth as she contextualized essential issues like gatekeeping, diversity, and inclusion through eye-opening cultural and historical images of women in law.
