Re-imagining the Future

There are several things that need to be fixed in order for work and family life to be balance and for men and women to be equal in the work force. Although we have more and more women going to law school we need to see a higher rate for women in the legal profession and women in the higher positions in the firms. In order to get these women in to higher positions we need to make it possible for women to balance home and work. There needs to be flexible hours, time off for having children, time off for childcare, and more flexible policies. While some places have implemented these programs companies need to start going above and beyond to in force them and to create an environment in which these women are not afraid to use them. Some women do not want to use them because they will not be seen as real lawyers. We need to change this policy.


Since are situations are different and when women are dealing with home life and work companies such recognized this. Companies need to have flexible policies, but still stay on track and this will keep everyone happy. Re-imagining the future consists of equal opportunity and equal representation for men and women and these companies need to do and implement policies that reinforce this. Just because a woman wants to have children they should be be discriminated against in the workforce. No company, co-workers, or owners of a firm should penalize women or men for having to take care of their child or families.
