Differences in Post-Law School Debt Among Genders and Races
In a recent article in the National Law Journal from May 5, 2008, the results of a recent survey revealed differences in the amount of post-law school debt among gender and races.
The survey put forth data stating that women generally are in greater debt than men and minorities are likely to have a larger debt than Caucasian law graduates. One can come to their own individual conclusions regarding this data, but perhaps disparities in hiring after law school among genders and races may force some students to carry this debt longer and not be able to pay it back sooner or that even among those who attain gainful employment shortly after graduating, still suffer the effects of a glass ceiling in the salaries they are able to earn.
