Representation of women in jurisdiction
Representation of women in jurisdiction is far higher than in the other two branches of power. This is also typical for other accession countries.
Still, their presence declines with the importance of the court.

Parliamentary deputies in the media The Slovene Democratic Party that has now
won the elections seems to have introduced a new way of presenting women in politics.

Parliamentary deputies in the media – an example
Yellow press Parliamentary deputies did not attract yellow
press before the 2004 elections when ex-TV speaker was elected
