PITTSBURGH — Women account for more than half of the associates at U.S. law firms, or 50.1%, but just 27.76% of partners, according to NALP’s recently released annual report on diversity.
The report is based on information from the 2023 NALP Directory of Legal Employers. NALP, short for the 3,000-plus member National Association for Law Placement, began tracking law firm diversity data in 1991. At that time, slightly more than 38% of law firm associates were women.
“It took another 32 years for women to achieve equal and just slightly greater representation among associates,” Nikia L. Gray, NALP executive director, said in a prepared statement. “Real change is slow, hard and imperceptible, but it does happen.”

A towing company employee fatally shot another employee after a fight on Wednesday evening in Springdale Township, police said.
In a news release, the Allegheny County Police Department said the shooting happened around 5 p.m. at Oak’s Auto/Truck Service on School Street. At the scene, authorities said first responders found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
County police said preliminary information shows that an argument between the two employees escalated into a fight. During the physical confrontation, officials said one employee fatally shot the other. Police did not release any additional details about the shooting, including the names of those involved.
Investigators will consult with the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office on whether the shooter will be charged, officials said.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call the county police tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the middle of the 2025 NFL season, bringing in Aaron Rodgers’ long-time friend and former teammate with the Green Bay Packers to aid the receiving corps. After being elevated to the active roster, Valdes-Scantling had 10 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in five games with the Steelers.
MVS signed with the Dallas Cowboys in free agency. Speaking with Yahoo! Sports, Valdes-Scantling revealed why he didn’t return to Pittsburgh in free agency.
“I was still interested in playing for Pittsburgh,” Valdes-Scantling said. “But I was very adamant on [wanting] to play with Aaron if I was going to go back to Pittsburgh because he’s one of my best friends that I’ve made in this league over my nine-year career. He was still undecided if he was going to go back and play or if he was going to hang it up, so I was like, ‘Let’s see what else is out there.’”
The Steelers added Michael Pittman to their receiving corps by trading for him on the first day of the league year in March, and also added Alabama product Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Comparing this current group of pass-catchers to those of previous years has fans excited about the potential ceiling of the offense.
