Men have an aggressive nature and more of a get it done now attitude. This attitude helps assist women lawyers. Men are needed as mentors/teaching aids for women lawyers because clients expect to see a male as their lawyer. Since men are stereotyped as more aggressive and more assertive than women, people do not expect a woman to be as strong in court as a man. It is considered a gendered organization because females need male reinforcement in order to please their clients. A profession in law has always been stereotyped as a "mans job" or a "mans world." There are more men in law than women and so assisting women with legal questions is just helping a colleague. If a man checks in on a female colleague, they are only being helpful.
