Context

Italy's national Bar Council (Consiglio Nazionale Forense) organises training on gender equal opportunities for legal professionals, particularly lawyers, as part of continuing professional education.

Objectives

To train legal professionals on women's empowerment and their rights, building awareness of gender issues within the legal profession.

Activities

Training planning and delivery of courses open to all legal professionals, especially lawyers, coordinated by the national bar council together with local bars and courts of justice.

Results

The source does not report quantitative outcomes; the practice is documented through the Council's continuing calendar of gender-equal-opportunity training events, which encourages local bars and courts to adopt similar practices.

Conclusions

By having the national bar council promote and coordinate gender training, the practice signals institutional commitment to raising awareness of gender issues among lawyers and creates a replicable model for local bars.

Implementation

Low (< €50k) — Cost is limited to training design, trainer fees, and event coordination by the national bar council; no budget figures are reported in the source.
