I watch a lot of crime shows and would surmise that DAs and ADAs are about 50/50 male-female. When it comes to defense lawyers, I'd guess it would be more 85-15 male-female.
Being a crimdef lawyer has to be pretty hard since in most cases, the ball is already in the red zone and a trial (if the defendant doesn't plead guilty) is a mere 1-yard dive play. Since lawyers were disproportionately male in the past, is it possibly because most criminal defense lawyers have years of experience (and many started out as prosecutors) and many female lawyers are just starting out (thus in DA offices) that explains this?
