Countries such as Algeria and Tunisia have been successful in increasing the participation of women as lawyers and judges.40 In Tunisia, employment as a lawyer is regarded as a socially acceptable and laudable employment choice for educated women. Law schools are largely populated with women and, over the last decade, the participation of women in the Supreme Court of Tunisia (or the Cour de cassation that is divided into several civil and criminal chambers) has been increasing steadily. For example, in 2004, women made up approximately 30% of the Supreme Court justices.
