In honor of Women's History Month, our founder and lead attorney Miranda McCroskey, shared what this celebration means to her. "Women’s History Month is an opportunity to thank and appreciate the women who came before. If I were a pre-1920s law school graduate I would not have had the right to vote. If I were a 1950s law school graduate, I, along with former Supreme Court justices Sandra Day O’Conner and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, would have been consistently rejected in my attempts to gain legal employment. As a 1970s law school graduate, I would have joined the ambitious and brave women who participated in lawsuits brought against law firms, law schools, and law school placement offices central to breaking down the persistent barriers to our entry into the profession. Fortunately, and thanks to those who came before, as a 1990s law school graduate I am allowed to pursue my career and grow my firm, Unlock Legal, and support other women and men in pursuing the career of their choice."
