Law Society president proposes targets to get women into management

A law firm aims to make profit for the partnership. It is not difficult to see which associates are bringing in the most revenue and/or clients. This is an objective criteria. There will be many other criteria of course, but at the end of the day the partners will promote the person they think will help the firm make the most profit in the long run. Why would they care if that person is male or female? They have absolutely no incentive to promote a mediocre male over a talented female. If the talented female is expected to make more profit and wants to be partner, she will get the promotion. If anything, there is probably more incentive to promote a mediocre female to make the statistics look better.
