Structure

[edit]

There is a lot that could be added to this. Is meant to cover the whole world? (women lawyers in China, India, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Australia, etc...?) Does it include women as trial advocates, judges, legal academics? Presumably not in the police services, or in legislatures? How about offices such as attorney general? A simple chronological list might start to become unwieldy before long. Would it be worth breaking it down, by role, or jurisdiction?

Some possible items to add, mainly from the UK and the Commonwealth:

(Still only no woman has served as Lord Chancellor, Lord Chief Justice, Master of the Rolls, Chancellor of the High Court (or Vice-Chancellor), Lord President of the Court of Session or Lord Justice General, or Lord Justice Clerk)

For the US, this is interesting: http://wlh.law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/cunnea-timeline.pdf

Now no doubt you want some sources for the rest of it :) Ferma (talk) 18:41, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Could also be expanded with the help of List of first women lawyers and judges in Europe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NikePF (talkcontribs) 20:43, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
