Despite political and legal efforts to advance equal opportunities in higher education and to break down barriers, inequalities and social asymmetries can still be observed. The lecture deals with the question of equal opportunities in law as a classic elite profession and asks about the mechanisms that lead to the fact that it is still characterised by a striking social exclusivity.
