Focus of the Day Article:
Sexual harassment and bullying is rife in the legal profession - and government legal workplaces are worse offenders than law firms, the largest international survey of the phenomenon reveals today. 'US Too?', a global study led by the International Bar Association (IBA), found that a third of women lawyers have been sexually harassed at work, while half of women and a third of men have faced bullying. UK respondents reported higher rates of sexual harassment and bullying than many other European countries, including France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Some 7,000 legal professionals from 135 countries responded to the IBA's survey.
