ACIJLP published a book including the research papers from the workshop. It also issued many statements to concerned bodies to create public opinion towards women as judges. An outcome of the campaign was a decree issued by the President of Egypt in January 2003 nominating Ms. Tahani El-Gebaly as a judge in the high constitutional court. |
