| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines gender dynamics in China’s legal system and aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the situation for female legal professionals. The gender gap is examined for several categories of legal professionals: private practitioners, government lawyers, legal academics, and emerging legal professionals in law school. The gender gap is measured using quantitative and qualitative data to chart empirical trends in gender disparities and trends in legal professionals’ perceptions on gender issues. Comparative analysis using the same types of quantitative and qualitative data from the United States is included to provide a baseline from which trends and perspectives unique to China are examined. | |
