It has long been argued that the main reason women partners are paid less than their male counterparts at law firms is because they are less productive due to family commitments. But that’s not true, according to a study conducted by law and business professors from Temple and the University of Texas-Pan American. "It has been sold for such a long time that women aren’t as productive as men," said Marina Angel, a professor at Temple's Beasley School of Law, who led the study.
