Age Discrimination in the Legal Profession

Many senior attorneys or “gray” lawyers are often forced into retirement by their firms or left jobless facing big decisions with their futures in the law. On Lawyer 2 Lawyer we will discuss age discrimination in the legal profession. Are older lawyers being pushed out? What alternatives are there for senior lawyers? What is being done to assist these attorneys? Law.com bloggers and co-hosts, J. Craig Williams and Robert Ambrogi, welcome Jean Berman, Executive Director of the International Senior Lawyers Project and Kate Madigan, President of the NY State Bar Association, to discuss this growing issue in the legal profession.
