In view of the imbalance between the presence of women and men in the legal sector, especially in the legal profession and the judiciary, the aim of this article is to expose the layers of absence and presence. Firstly, with an analytical bias, the results of the profiling of the Brazilian legal profession and judiciary were presented, followed by a section on Sergipe. To guide the debate, the concepts of the glass ceiling and the masculinization of command and feminization of subalternity were briefly presented. Then, in order to make an informed contribution to the problem at hand, we worked with the concepts of diversity and inclusion, with a view to concatenating the ideas to expand on the next topic, which is the need to align the legal sector with the metrics commonly applied and associated with corporate governance, ESG, environmental, social and governance. Finally, despite the gap in the Brazilian literature, work is done on the recent expansion of the qualitative use of ESG factors in the legal profession, with an emphasis on the principle of equity. In order to achieve the objective, an exploratory and descriptive study was carried out, using an analytical and deductive approach and documentary and bibliographic sources. In addition, in order to organize this study, careful data collection was carried out, corresponding to the first methodological stage of the research, aimed at analyzing the profiles of the Brazilian legal profession and judiciary. With regard to the bibliographic survey, the second methodological phase, there was a limitation due to the Brazilian references, deepened by the specificity of the research in terms of the legal field marker.
