MILP #200: One word

The Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom, Butterflyfish, and Attorney Work Product blogs. We originally rounded up just the moms in law school, but then discovered that those women eventually graduate. Who knew? So now all the moms in the legal field (heh) are represented. We aim for Sunday posts.

This week I'm attempting to round up the posts using a single word.


I read an article about Ruth Bader Ginsburg in which, among other things, she discussed the challenges of being a mom in the legal profession. She noticed that whenever there was a difficulty with one of her children at school, for example, the school invariably called her, and not her husband, who was also a working attorney. Finally, she told them that her children had two parents and that the school should consider alternating which one they called. Such a simple response to a typical MILP challenge.

This is our #200th Roundup.  200 weeks -- since July 2007 -- we've been rounding up the posts written by our little community of lawyer (and law student) mommies.  As I said on week #100:  I would just like to take this occasion to note how honored I am to be even mentioned in the same sentence as some of these fantastic women bloggers. Thank you all for being part of this journey.
