French term or phrase: offices ministériels

From an academic article describing the controversy surrounding women's entry into the professional world, where they started doing jobs which had always been reserved for men:

'Le débat public se déplace des doctoresses et des avocates vers la question de l'accès des femmes aux autres carrières juridiques (magistrature) et aux *offices ministériels* (avoué, notaire, huissier, greffier)'

My audience is American.
