This document discusses becoming a law firm partner and the challenges that Aboriginal lawyers face in achieving partnership. It notes that Aboriginal lawyers remain underrepresented among law firm partners. It also notes that the attrition rate of law students and graduates becoming practitioners and eventually partners is very low. Achieving a partnership requires a tremendous commitment of long hours and client focus that does not work for many Aboriginal lawyers who have other priorities. The document questions whether the effort of becoming a partner is worth the gain and discusses what it takes to achieve a partnership, such as business development and bringing in clients.
