Abstract: Organized at the request of the National Bar Council and the Center for Research and Study of Lawyers, the workshops reveal a legal profession that is attractive to newcomers but faces high attrition rates, particularly among women. The gap between the profession's prestigious image and reality – work overload, limited autonomy, income inequality, and discrimination – fuels disengagement. The early stages of a career, often marked by repetitive tasks, client pressure, and a lack of prospects, constitute a critical phase. The legal services market is transforming: increased competition, online platforms, and the development of AI are changing the organization of work and challenging professional ethics, while offering potential productivity gains. Finally, the workshops highlight a lack of data on career paths, working conditions, and career transitions, which limits the analysis of the profession's attractiveness and calls for better tracking of career trajectories.
