Woman magistrate
extracted from the Treaty on the profession of magistrate work in Romania,

Distinct from those used above, we consider necessary, appropriate and required a specific approach and the procedures for acquiring exclusive, the position of judge of women, referring to the woman judge favorite, as a sign of respect and due consideration due, because its process is becoming significantly different from that of man magistrate in a sense he has wronged, no doubt, not only professional perspective, not just our opinion that "about who ruled the country gentlemen, the struggles, exploits and misfortunes their relatively speaking, good and especially bad. On the contrary, a covered unjust oblivion forever, leaving a weed, tombs ladies who stood by their husbands. "[1]
Following steps have discovered archival work in stating that "to our surprise, we find among the documents studied Romanian and one of 30-VI-1621 ... which shows that the lady judge (sn-LP.) often times the sofa,[2] "or that" the old woman met Romanian law office of judge sometimes. "[3]
"... Consider so that Romanian ladies, wives of princes, exercised power after almost constantly and usually replacing their wives when they were missing their children or minors tutelând ... take decisions and shared lady justice "[4](s.n. - IP).

In the same way show that" the sixteenth-century ladies know how to fight for the throne, to take troops to punish enemies, to rule the country and to judge (s.n. - IP). Andthe ladies ofthe otherage, the seventeenth-century start command, and incidentally, sentences[5] "(s.n. - IP), or that" ... decisions are given, according to circumstances, and have the same power and ruler and her mother[6] .. "
The above quotations should not mislead us about the role of women as a judge during the royaljustice, prefanariote..
As a judge the quality of Mr. and others derives from the public officials they held power, so the "ladies" judge had "dragged" to judge the quality of the wife or mother of the future Mr. Sir, still minor.
Status of women in society at that time equivalent to that of any "thick and stupid peasant or some mindless cocoon" [7] or "decoration"[8].
Caragea Code (Civil Code of Wallachia, applied between 1817 and 1832) was categorical. In Chapter I, for men and women is provided in art. 1 that "all men are Boeri, judges and public governors", and in art. 2 that women, are far from all political positions, domination and public services ".
In subsequent laws, from that of 1861 (Law on the Court of Cassation) is provided as a condition of admission to the bench, "the use of civil rights", then doubled by another condition, "be satisfied recruitment law". This dual requirement is met in the law of judicial organization from 1924 (Article 73 section 3), 1938 (article 66 lit. B and c and Art. 83 points. A), 1943 (Article 84 paragraph 3 and 4), and the Law 341/1947 (Art. 56 paragraph 2 and 3).
We presented the above laws to emphasize that the woman, or a member of the society was not fully recognized, the constitutional perspective, as "equal" man, but by art. 16 of the Constitution in 1948, according that "all citizens of the Romanian People, irrespective of nationality, sex, race, religion or degree of culture, are equal before the law."
Constitution of 1923 referring to the civil and political rights of women provided in art. Article 6. (2) that "special laws passed by two-thirds majority will determine the conditions under which women can exercise political rights" and in par. (3) that "the civil rights of women will establish the equality of both sexes ".
We notice that, at least in respect of the judiciary, while benefiting from the use of civil rights, women still lacked access function that did not meet other conditions imposed by the law of judicial organization from 1924, 1938, 1943 and 1947, that meet the law recruitment "applicable only to men.
A "hole" in the "monolithic" masculine administration of justice was attempted by introducing the concept of "assessors" (note - no assessor, but assessors) every court of minors, the laws of judicial organization in the years 1938 and 1943.

Thus, art. 242 of the Judicial Organisation Act of 1938, stated that "every court to juvenile court may appoint as assessors of an advisory, one woman aged 30 years or leader of a society of patronage of at least three years, or law degree and at least one legitimate child. they reasoned opinion will be recorded in disciplinary body under penalty sentencing judge. appointment will be for a period of two years and Meanwhile asesoarea will be assimilated in all alternate ".
In art. 333 of the law of judicial organization no. 726/1943 is also provided that "every court of minors is established, the Minister of Justice deems necessary, the positions of assessor judge, an advisory ... Asesory will be provisionally called the ministerial decision of law or diplomatele licenţiatele high school social work, with an activity of at least two years in social work and aged 26 years. "
The first law that explicitly sanctioned the possibility that women can become a judge was Law. 34/1945 regarding some special devices of judicial organization, as in art. Article VIII. (2) it is stated that "in condiţiunile this text will be appointed to the bench and women".
The first female judge sworn in Romania on 18. 02. 1945. Presented below, in part, his speech the Minister of Justice at that time, Patrascanu "... one of the basic demands of democracy has remained consistent to ensure full equality today ... gender is a basis for that claim can not create a democratic, honest and real, without attracting massive and unreservedly feminine element into all areas of public life on an equal level of appreciation. Even this modest beginning but required effort, because the spirit of conservative prejudices are deeply rooted in us. Paving the way female elements of the judiciary, breaking another barrier that was put in the way we acted on the struggle for democratization Romania plan ... A brand or combat prejudices that reactionary elements attempt to justify a woman in our public life under a regime of inferiority, I find it useless ... because an element of social progress is to establish a perfect equality in all fields, regardless of religion, race or sex ".[9]
