Abby Spears, Nason Yeager attorney, authored an article in the Florida Association for Women Lawyers (FAWL) Journal regarding the exodus of women from law firms. Despite more women enrolling in law school and now outnumbering men, female attorneys still face significant underrepresentation in law firm leadership roles. Contributing factors to this disparity include caretaking commitments, stress, and work-life balance issues, with solutions requiring mentorship, advocacy for parental leave policies, and intentional networking.

2023 Highlight #5: In 2023, I had the honor of organizing CABA's distinguished Annual Judicial Forum and Luncheon, where we completely revamped the event to celebrate and honor 18 remarkable Hispanic women judges from across Florida's state and federal courts. This event was a powerful testament to our commitment to recognizing and elevating the contributions of Hispanic women in the legal profession. As a follow up to the event, I authored the below comment and call to action, which was published by the Daily Business Review! The lesson? Empowerment is a catalyst for positive change within the legal profession.

The only remedy for years of intentional exclusion is years of intentional inclusion. My argument is founded less on social justice and a “be nice to Black people” posture, and more about the economic reality that this country will need to maintain monetary and fiscal policy, and our geopolitical footing. Black and brown people are already the global majority and will soon be the majority in the US. It is unconscionable to disinvest in the very population you need the most. This is another extraordinary example of how much we have been blinded by our own narratives regarding the worth of Black people in this country… a self sabotaging decision much like the Supreme Court decision just a year ago this month. Our inability to recognize/acknowledge the particular marginalization, muting, stunting a diminishment, as a matter of policy and structure, that has only happened to people of color in our country, and seek to remediate the same, will destroy us all… white people too!
