This chart ranks the percentage of female partners and associates at Washington, DC law offices.

An asterisk indicates that the firm did not provide this information. We treated missing data as if it were zero.

The chart includes all firms with 100 attorneys in their Washington, DC office. See How We Did This for more on our ranking process.

Firms are graded on a curve. We divide the firms into quintiles, and then assign letter grades based on this division. We combined the grades with those from other diversity rankings to create a diversity report card of firms' overall minority employment rates. Note that firms with zero representation in any demographic category receive an "F" regardless of quintile.

Bold denotes the top 15 most prestigious law firms in Washington, DC, according to vault's 2009 regional rankings
