It is the purpose of a legal system to provide the basis for justice and societal peace. History teaches us that social power is crucial in shaping the system. As the modern society continues to become more inclusive and to grant equal rights to the previously marginalized and uninvolved parts of the populace, the latter need to participate. Therefore, we must encourage women and support their development not only in their role as legal subjects, but as active contributors in legal development.
