Atty. Ellen “Ellie” Krug, a speaker at the 2021 (Virtual) State Bar of Wisconsin Annual Meeting & Conference, June 9-11, discusses her experience transitioning from male to female, how changing genders affected her ability to fit in, and the perspective she's gained on obstacles women face in social interactions and in the workplace.
As a civil trial attorney, Ellie will give particular attention to gender biases she’s witnessed in the law and legal practice, including by members of the jury, opposing counsel, and clients.
Audience members will be encouraged to ask questions and will leave with:
- An awareness of gender biases in day-to-day interactions.
- A better understanding of the obstacles faced by female lawyers and the LGBTQ+ population
- Tips for being an ally
- The ability to recognize room for growth in the legal community and community at large
