Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ebadi was born in Hamadan, Iran. Her father, Mohammad Ali Ebadi, was the city''s chief notary public and professor of commercial law. The family moved to Tehran in 1948. She was admitted to the law department University of Tehran in 1965 and upon graduation in 1969 passed the qualification exams to become a judge. After a six-month internship period, she officially started her judging career in March 1969. She continued her studies in University of Tehran in the meanwhile and received a master''s degree in law in 1971. In 1975, she became the first woman to preside over a legislative court. Following the Iranian revolution in 1979, conservative clerics insisted that Islam prohibits women from becoming judges and Ebadi was demoted to a secretarial position at the branch where she had previously presided. She and other female judges protested and were assigned to the slightly higher position of "law expert." She eventually requested early retirement as the situation remained unchanged.
