Created by the ABA Commission on Women In The Profession, The Grit Project educates women lawyers about the science behind grit and growth mindset -- two important traits many successful women lawyers have in common.

In the past two decades, women and men have entered law firms as first-year associates in roughly equal numbers. In 2013, about 47 percent of associates were female. However, by the time women arrive at the most senior leadership levels - non-equity and equity partners - they represent only 29 percent and 17 percent of their peers, respectively. A 2012 study shows when we improve grit and growth mindset, we see women attorneys succeed. The best news? Women lawyers have control over them.
