Women's History Month - Women In Leadership

Women's Series

Who were the first women lawyers? Based on what we now know from archaeology and ancient artifacts, the answer may surprise you. This podcast examines the role of women as “lawyer-scribes” in ancient Mesopotamia, Canaan and Egypt—sometimes referred to as “the cradle of civilization.”  Research on legal contracts and proceedings, as well as religious texts and images from these cultures, provide clues on women’s roles in the law in ancient history. What can the experiences of these women teach us about the need for gender equity, diversity, and inclusion today?

This podcast is hosted by Burr's Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Tamika Walters, and Partner Ed Snow from the firm's Atlanta office.
