Both of these are only partially (or, more specifically, they are situationally) true.

Just like with everything! There are always exceptions! It also is dependent on the firm culture, city culture, type of law, size of firm, etc. Too many variables......There was an interesting article in the NYT a few months back on this subject if anyone is interested in the female partnership aspect.

Thanks All. I'll definitely put some time and thought into the best way to create that balance.
