Women lawyers under-represented in NZ's top courts - Cooper

Despite women making up half of New Zealand's lawyers, new research shows that they are woefully under-represented in those who get to argue cases before the country's top courts. The report, on behalf of the Bar Association, looked at six years worth of cases before the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, and found "no discernible trend of improvement" over that period. Jenny Cooper QC is a co-author of the report. She talks to Susie Ferguson.
