For Women in Law, 'Business Development Is Key'
A recent survey of women in law firms by Marketing the Law Firm affiliate The American Lawyer found that ' unsurprisingly ' women are concentrated at the lower levels of law firms. That wasn't news to Elizabeth Anne “Betiayn” Tursi, who three years ago helped to found the Women In Law Empowerment Forum (WILEF), a lecture series that focuses on helping women become firm leaders. Six WILEF events have been planned for 2009 on both the East and West Coasts. A panel on June 23 in New York was entitled, “Different Approaches to Leadership for Women in Law.” Tursi, the principal of Tursi Law Marketing Management and the Editor-in-Chief of this newsletter, has been advocating for the career advancement of women in law since 1992, when she was the business development director at New York-based Kaye Scholer and became involved in several women's initiatives through the American Bar Association. We recently spoke with Tursi about the challenges women in law firms face. Her responses have been edited for length.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
