it&#x27;s newsworthy when men make more than women, or when whites make more than non-whites; however, it&#x27;s only a passing statement (in the vein of a full diclosure type byline) in which the opposite is true.<p>This article also fails to mention if the study controlled for types of law practiced by these people -- something that still persists in our &quot;pay gap myth.&quot; A lot of the PoC and women that I know in law started out doing basically volunteer work, contract review, innocence project, public defender and environmental defense work, etc. While a lot of the white men went into patent law, divorce law, corporate law, etc. Basically higher-paying professions.
