This paper presents a critical study of the evolution, development, and current status of female attorneys in Montenegro, a country whose society was historically deeply influenced by patriarchal societal patterns and outlooks. Although the Bar Association of Montenegro had been founded in 1909, the first female to practice law in Montenegro registered in 1959. As of 2023, the share of women in the total number of registered attorneys of Montenegro is 33%. Although this number is significantly higher than the percentage of women who practiced law during the mid-nineties (1996) when the total number of women registered in the Bar Association was roughly 14.55%, it corresponds neither to the percentage of women in the judiciary, where they make up for the majority of judges (57%) nor to the percentage of women in Public Prosecution Offices, where they make up for the majority of prosecutors (62.14%), nor to the percentage of women in Notary Public—where they also present a majority (64%). In this article, the author will conduct an analysis aimed at defining the sociological determinants which contribute to such an uneven percentage of women among attorneys compared to other legal professions in Montenegro. The method the author will use will be that of qualitative empirical research, consisting of interviews with female attorneys from Montenegro.
