Abstract
This paper focuses on two questions: the first refers to feminisation in the judicial and legal professions in Croatia; and the second asks if there is a glass ceiling in relation to the promotion of women to higher positions in the judicial and legal professions in Croatia. The introductory part defines feminisation and the glass ceiling, elaborates on research questions and methodology and provides reasons for the selection of foreign judicial and legal professions serving as a basis for comparison with Croatian professions. The second part analyses feminisation and the glass ceiling in the Croatian judicial profession and gives a comparison of gender representation among Croatian, German and Polish judges. The third part of the paper focuses on feminisation and the glass ceiling among Croatian lawyers and provides a comparison of gender representation among Croatian, American and Polish lawyers. The conclusion is an evaluation of the answers to the research questions.
