Page ix Foreword BY Michael A. Cardozo Twenty-five years have elapsed since Causes and Conflicts, the centennial history of the Association, was published in 1970, a period that has seen sweeping social change at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Mirroring the legal profession itself, membership has grown in absolute numbers and has become significantly more diverse in gender, ethnicity, and perspective. In rapid succession, in 1990 and 1994, the Association elected as its president its first African-American and its first woman. The Thurgood Marshall Summer Law Internship Program was established to provide paying summer jobs in legal environments for inner-city high school students. "Glass Ceilings and Open Doors: Women's Advancement in the Profession," a study commissioned by the Committee on Women in the Profession, was issued in September 1995.
