And God Created Woman. . . . But to Be a Criminal Defense Attorney?
Podgor, Ellen S. & Pertnoy, Leonard D.
Abstract
The focus of this Article is to discuss how different stereotypes affect the court presentation by a male and female defense attorney. The authors believe actual differences predicated upon a feminist methodology or approach are gender neutral. An awareness by an individual of what has been termed "feminist" controls actual methodology. For a more comprehensive discussion of feminist legal method or methodology, see generally Bartlett, Feminist Legal Methods, 103 Harv.
