She is the first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and only the fifth Muslim to receive a Nobel Prize in any field. Dr. Ebadi was one of the first female judges in Iran. She served as president of the city court of Tehran from 1975 to 1979 and was the first Iranian woman to achieve Chief Justice status. She, along with other women judges, was dismissed from that position after the Islamic Revolution in February 1979. She was made a clerk in the court she had once presided over, until she petitioned for early retirement. After obtaining her lawyer\u0027s license in 1992, Dr. Ebadi set up private practice. As a lawyer, Dr. Ebadi has taken on many controversial cases defending political dissidents and as a result has been arrested numerous times. In addition to being an internationally-recognized advocate of human rights, she has also established many non-governmental organizations in Iran, including the\u003Cbr \/\u003EMillion Signatures Campaign, a campaign demanding an end to legal discrimination against women in Iranian law.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDr. Ebadi is also a university professor and often students from outside Iran take part in her human rights training courses. She has published over 70 articles and 13 books dedicated to various aspects of human rights, some of which have been published by UNICEF.\u0026nbsp;In 2004, she was named by Forbes Magazine as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAn interview with\u0026nbsp;Nobel Laureate and Iranian human rights advocate Dr. Shirin Ebadi will take place May 2 at the Georgia Tech Hotel, Conference Room A.\u0026nbsp; Reception begins at 4:30pm, the program will be 5:30-6:30pm.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A reception and interview of the Nobel Prize winning human and civil rights advocate from Iran."}],"uid":"27167","created_gmt":"2011-04-18 16:04:36","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:54:50","author":"Rebecca Keane","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-05-02T17:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-05-02T19:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-05-02T19:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-05-02 21:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-05-02 23:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-05-02 23:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"65645":{"id":"65645","type":"image","title":"Shirin Ebadi","body":null,"created":"1449176863","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:07:43","changed":"1475894582","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:02","alt":"Shirin Ebadi","file":{"fid":"192290","name":"shirin-ebadi2_200x300_v2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/shirin-ebadi2_200x300_v2_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/shirin-ebadi2_200x300_v2_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":30163,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/shirin-ebadi2_200x300_v2_0.jpg?itok=QznYtojW"}}},"media_ids":["65645"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4806","name":"human rights"},{"id":"8319","name":"iran"},{"id":"955","name":"ivan allen college"},{"id":"167489","name":"Shirin Ebadi"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ERebecca Keane\u0026nbsp; 404-894-1720\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
