Book excerpt: Do women have equal chances in the judiciary? Although women have made their way into law faculties, in many countries of the world they still face drawbacks in judicial careers. This book delves into the different aspects of women at work in the judicial environment, focusing on judicial appointments, promotions, the glass ceiling and representation in high positions of the judiciary across international settings such as Nigeria, South Africa, Philippines, Turkey, Spain, and Northern Ireland. The contributions go beyond the classical career issues by digging into several questions related to women at work in the judicial environment, such as: Are women accepted by their colleagues and by clients at court – male and female? Do they get the recognition they deserve or is there indecent behaviour and discrimination against them? What about work-life balance? And how do women judges perceive their role? The book offers valuable insights by questioning and criticising the status quo, paving the way to a gender equal future in the judiciary. A significant new contribution to international scholarship in the field, this book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the Legal Profession.
