A new episode of “On Equal Terms” featuring Julie Couturier, President of the National Council of Bar Associations and former President of the Paris Bar Association. She made history in the legal profession by being the first woman to claim and embrace the title of “bâtonnière.” This choice was far from merely symbolic; it reflects her determination to name realities in order to better transform them. Learn about her daily struggles to break down cliques, combat harassment within the profession, and shatter a glass ceiling that remains very much in place—despite the fact that 64% of the profession is made up of women. We’ll discuss education and the role of institutions—both of which are essential to ensuring equality, freedom, and dignity for everyone, both in France and around the world. Julie Couturier strongly advocates for the law as the foundation of social cohesion and the guarantor of fundamental freedoms. A powerful and enlightening exchange that invites us to view equality not as a constraint, but as a shared responsibility, and that reminds us that the law, when it is alive and embodied, can be a tremendous force for progress.
