I construct a measure of exposure to coeducation across cohorts and departments and link it to longitudinal administrative data. The resul ts show that coeducation contributed to narrowing the gender gap. Evidence suggests that this comes primarily from changes in occupational allocation rather than from changes in labour supply. These findings suggest that coed ucation contributed to reshaping gender norms in the labour market.**The st rategic use of judicial processes against political rivals\, often termed l awfare\, has historically characterized authoritarian regimes and is now in creasingly observed in democracies. A central empirical challenge is distin guishing uniform enforcement of wrongdoing from selective targeting of oppo nents. Using a regression discontinuity design and newly assembled data fro m Pakistan\, we provide causal evidence on the existence and extent of lawf are. We show that political rivals face systematically greater judicial scr utiny\, with effects large enough to crowd out legitimate anti-corruption e fforts. These asymmetries consolidate incumbent power\, as convictions of o pposition politicians eliminate the well-documented incumbency advantage an d reduce their chances of re-election. Although democratization is often ex pected to strengthen institutions\, our results show that lawfare endures i n both military and democratic rule. We further identify some conditions un der which the weaponization of justice intensifies or recedes. These findin gs highlight how the political manipulation of the courts undermines the pr omise of rule-based accountability\, even during periods of institutional r eform and institutions designed to uphold justice can\, when politicized\, turn justice into a struggle for power rather than a safeguard of accountab ility.\\n\\nContact: Alexandre Arnout: alexandre.arnout[at]univ-amu.frPhili ppine Escudié: philippine.escudie[at]univ-amu.frArmand Rigotti: armand.r igotti[at]univ-amu.fr\n\nPlus d'informations: https://www.amse-aixmarseille .fr/en/events/lucie-giorgi-bakhtawar-ali-0 LOCATION:ÃŽlot Bernard du Bois - Amphithéâtre\, AMU - AMSE\, 5-9 boulevar d Maurice Bourdet\, 13001 Marseille URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.amse-aixmarseille.fr/en/events/lucie-giorgi-bakhtawar-ali-0 CONTACT:Alexandre Arnout: alexandre.arnout[at]univ-amu.frPhilippine Escudià ©: \;philippine.escudie[at]univ-amu.frArmand Rigotti: \;armand.rigo tti[at]univ-amu.fr TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
