According to our recent poll, 55 percent of Precedent readers have personal experience with inappropriate sexual behaviour at law firm parties or events — an increase from the preliminary numbers we reported on our blog earlier this month.
The 55 percent figure includes people who indicated that an incident happened to them personally, occurred at a party they were at, or was described to them by a friend or colleague who witnessed it.
A quarter of voters indicated they’d heard only rumours of incidents, while 20 percent said that they’d encountered nothing besides the big stories reported in the mainstream media.
Full, final results:
24.8 percent I’ve heard rumours about incidents (37 votes)
22.8 percent It happened to me (34)
20.1 percent I’ve never seen nor heard of any incidents, aside from those that make the news (30)
17.4 percent I’ve witnessed it happening to others (26)
14.8 percent A friend or colleague told me about an incident they witnessed (22)
