[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious what you mean when you say most female attorneys have one or none? Most of my friends (also lawyers as am I) have 2-3 kids and busy careers, though we have transitioned from firms to in-house or government….at least those of us that had 3 have.  It’s totally doable.  [b]I also don’t know why lawyers get singled out over other professionals…we aren’t all that special, especially if you’re not trying to bill 3000 hours. [/b] But if you are at a crazy high billable requirement place, you may want to rethink where you want to be anyway, whether you have 1 kid or none.[/quote]

It's a really weird thing. The job itself is sooo variable, a law degree is just a professional qualification. It would be very bizarre to ask, "how many kids can and MBA mom have?" Idk, what do you actually do? Do you like it or do you want to shift. Heck, a bachelor's mom who is a Big4 partner traveling 90% of the time would have these issues, very strange to view it through degree. Decide what you want with kids and build career around that.
