AFAIK gender balance quotas are no longer in effect.
Gender ratios are widely tracked within the industry, though, e.g. (https://ylw.yale.edu/top-firms/ https://ylw.yale.edu/top-firms/).

(https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1011&context=facpub https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...) is 26 pages and covers the history of women in law from 1920 to 1970. Cynthia Epstein's Women in Law should cover this topic but I haven't yet read it.
