To be or not to be – A Lawyer and a Mother

I read this humorous article a few years ago claiming that lawyer mothers were the scariest of all mothers. It showed how lawyer moms had a superhuman tolerance for drudgery (a lot of the initial work years as a lawyer are just that, we can read a 1000 pages and keep going); how being trained negotiators helped lawyer moms deal with three-year-olds; and that reading the fine print on school circulars was already an inbuilt skill.

The reality though is that a lot of woman lawyers in India are asking this question – is it possible to become a mother and thereafter try to continue to be a high performing lawyer?
