Abstract: This article focuses on the effects of the "regulated freedom of establishment" of notaries in France on the feminization of the profession. It shows that barriers within the profession are polymorphous, and can be analyzed over time as a closure of the market, as well as being a targeted exclusion of women from the profession, in a gendered appropriation of regulation. While the new market regulations have reduced barriers to entry, they have also affected its structures, shifting demarcation mechanisms to the heart of the market. Using a forward-thinking approach and based on data about the practices of notaries in Hauts-de-Seine, this article shows that the segmentation of the notarial market may be accompanied by segregation within the profession.
