The separations between domestic and workspace, private and public, were called into question by the COVID-19 pandemic. The acceleration of the implementation of remote work, implied by isolation, was seen as positive for women as it would facilitate the reconciliation between domestic demands and paid work. Through reports collected during fieldwork for a masters research and bibliographies of sociology of law and labour, this article addresses how this conciliation affected and still affects the lives of women in legal careers. It is concluded that with remote work the difficulties of reconciliation, structural inequalities between genders and class inequalities are maintained.
