Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines women’s entry and advancement within French Canada’s civil law tradition of a dual system of notaires and avocats within law practice. The two arms of the profession have developed along exclusive legal jurisdictions codified through law, contrasting professional structures, and separate content and styles of legal practice. Yet, this divisive profession shares a common foundation through law school and professional training, and their respective practices of law occasionally overlap and conflict in the competition for clientele, services, and professional status. Women have entered law practice in Quebec at a critical juncture in the transformation of the legal profession, and their entry coincides with the emergence of exclusionary processes both within and across these two corporations of law practitioners. The paper reports findings from a large-scale survey and a smaller sample of in depth interviews with both women avocates and notaires in Quebec.
