Men and Women in Law School

Posted On: October 20, 2010 by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Concurring Opinions has a blog post today on how women are less likely to speak up in class than men in law school. I have been teaching law students at the University of Baltimore School of Law for 13 years, teaching three semesters a year - spring, summer and fall - for the last 8 years. I can honestly say that I have never noticed that men are more likely to speak up than women. Whether I'm perceiving it wrong or whether our school is for some reason immune to this phenomenon, I have no idea.

Perhaps the "culture" at the University of Baltimore is different from the average Law School.
