The major challenge that I can think of at the moment that is unique to the 21st century is to overcome the fictional movie stereotypes that are being established.\n\nAll the rest of the obstacles have been around a lot longer than the 21st century, so I don't need to rehash them. The idealization of super-competence, super-compassion, super-everything seems to be dominating television and extends to all fields, not just jurisprudence. There is an aura of unrealistic expectations being created by many of the dramas. \n\nPeople are going to be blamed for not living up to these unrealistic expectations through no fault of their own other than being human like everyone else.

1-Confusion of sexuality and self-expression.  Since the 70s gave an opening to self expression most women can have the best of both worlds by exploring her sexuality without being condemned.\n\n2-Racial freedom.  The current generation of youth are almost completely colorblind, this makes it more comfortable dating outside of your race.\n\n3-Double standards.  Political correctness has done away with a lot of the double standards that were recklessly staunching careers and livelihoods of women in the 20s forward.

Acutally the military is better for many women than civilian life. The training and advancement oppertunities are the best they have ever been for females. There are restrictions on serving in Special Forces, Submarines, and most ground Combat units. But they are females on most ships, flying planes, and holding command ranks through out the world. How many Fortune 500 firms can say that???

Under the federal law they are not REQUIRED to hire a certain number of women, but rather their workforce must be representative of the community in which it is based.  There is still some legal debate over what that REALLY means.

There are thousands of women in our justice system.  The most high-profile one at the moment is probably Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a Supreme Court justice.  Another prominent one was Sandra Day O'Conner, who was a Supreme Court justice, but she has recently stepped down.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (mediation and arbitration) is here to stay, and a lawyer unfamiliar with those is going to have a hard time. \n\nInternet law is going to continue growing, as are all areas of Intellectual Property Law.\n\nSame with Family Law -- including marriage and divorce laws. Doesn't matter if you're a conservative who wants to specialize in covenant marriages, or someone who believes in tolerance and diversity working towards same-sex unions. Both sides of the spectrum will have lots to do.\n\nOf course, there's never going to be enough Civil Rights attorneys, and Immigration law is going to be a hot issue for most of the next decade. That applies regardless of whether you want to prosecute terrorists and illegal immigrants, or reform the system to protect personal rights.\n\nInternational law might become a big field, if the US stops playing 'us against them' and rejoins the international community.\n\nMore importantly, what are YOU interested in? If you're looking to specialize, then find an area that you enjoy doing and stick with that. There'll be plenty to do, regardless of what specialty you pick.

This might be slightly diffrent than that you're thinking of, but you could do a report like "Justice Alito & Women's Rights".  There have been some more radical people who claim that the new Justice is bad for women's rights.  You could present an unbiased report on his record in this area, and maybe bring in some opposing view points from around your city for a roundtable.

It's a complicated profession, with a lot of dedicated people, plus too many members who abuse their position and violate their ethics.\n\nIt's a shame that soo many attorneys fail to live up to the ethical standards that are still oficially part of what was once an honorable profession. It just makes it that much harder for the rest of us.

Speaking as a Woman succeeding in a male dominated society:\nIt is women like myself that encourage us to succeed, not society or anything/anyone else.\nI/we have the drive, ambition, courage, and goals to want to succeed, to accomplish, just as any motivated person would. \nOur hearts encourage us, our intelligence guides us.\nIf anything, society attempts to detour us with daily hurdles and difficulties.\nEquality in the work force is not a reality, just an additional struggle for women.  But that's ok.

We have our first Female speaker in the house. I feel that this is an important step to having a female president in the running. We need more women to balance out the good ole boy network that has been running for to long. A women as president would make other countries take another look at us. They would have to reconfigure their stand in dealing with the US. As long as she is sure and confident in her purpose she would be an asset to the Presidency.

Rejection from elitist law firms;\n\nPaying massive amounts of debt for the next 30 years;\n\nHaving your profession ridiculed and spat upon regularly, \n\netc.

I can't do you a percentage but it will probably be lower than you think. Most lawyers are doing bog-standard high-street , local government work etc. The high earners aren't that common but you find them in the top commercial/media/industry firms. Or in prestigious criminal firms.

Females should have equal rights under the law particularly in the criminal justice system.

Probably one of the major challenges is once the s/w is in operation, invariably there will be changes made to it. This will give rise to new test cases that would not have been accounted for previously. Developing new test cases or redefining some of them will be difficult.\nAlso, it is important to determine how much is enough. It is not possible to test  all possible test cases due to time and budgetary constraints. So one cannot maximise testing but only optimise.
