Editorial: Liberation

• Instances of sexual discrimination in the French legal field in 2024.
• Reluctance of some law firms to accept pregnancies or grant maternity leaves.
• Instill fear and harass pregnant women, strip them of their legal cases, or even fire them.
• Female lawyers are coerced into working up until the day before giving birth, and then returning to work a few days later.

Conclusion: The editorial highlights ongoing and systematic discrimination within the legal sector in France. Fair work protocols and labor laws seem to be ignored to the detriment of pregnant lawyers.
