Dr. Phyllis Kitzerow, ¾¨Ó㴫ý professor of sociology, will be a speaker at "Addressing Gender Inequities in the Legal Profession" Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 4 p.m. in Kresge Theater at Carlow University in Pittsburgh.
In 2005, the Allegheny County Bar Association (ACBA) commissioned a survey of its members regarding career paths and income. The results indicated considerable gender disparities with respect to salaries and career advancement.

The program is free and open to the public.
