The Significance of Gender Equality in Legal Education
This paper builds on the premise that law is an important mechanism available to
us in pursuing gender equality as one of the aspirational elements of an inclusive
society. One of the factors that influence the extent to which law is successful in
this role concerns the issue of how law is understood and used by those who deal
with it daily in a professional capacity and to whom law, as one of the key norma-
tive systems in contemporary society, has been – metaphorically speaking – en-
trusted to ‘nurture.’ In other words, I am referring to the legal profession. The cen-
tral context in which the institutionalised social process of the (re)production of
the legal profession takes place is legal education. A former judge of the Supreme
Court of the United States once remarked that the ‘law is what lawyers are’ and
that ‘lawyers are what the law schools make them.’ The purpose of this paper is
to shed light on mainstreaming gender into legal education (in Slovenia) and to
reinforce the need to address diverse issues that arise in this regard, especially
in light of the fact that legal education in Slovenia rarely finds itself at the cen-
tre of in-depth debates in general, and even less so in relation to gender and/or
equality issues.
Key words: gender equality, legal education, legal profession
