In this study, research is going to be conducted on the possibility of constructing a feminist judgmental process by examining a real-life example: The Women's Court of Sarajevo. Liberal law systems and judgmental processes are driven by the notions of objectivity, rationalism, and neutrality; however, it is possible to understand that these notions are understood by the patriarchal perspective. To have a more fair and just judgmental process, the feminist legal theory suggests 3 methods. Together with explaining different feminist theoretical standpoints in legal thought and the methods that are produced based on these standpoints; I examined the Women's Court of Sarajevo and witnesses' views on the possibility of constructing a feminist judgmental process.
