The Legal Labour Market and the Training Needs of Women Returners in the United Kingdom.
Sommerlad, Hilary; Sanderson, Peter
Journal of Vocational Education and Training: The Vocational Aspect of Education, v49 n1 p45-64 1997

The professional legal culture is conceptualized as male, and women who have taken career breaks encounter obstacles not overcome by training that prepares them for reentry. (SK)
