Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The symposium report examines the impact of women in leadership roles on state courts, focusing on a panel discussion with four prominent female chief justices. It explores how their presence has influenced judicial decision-making and the potential for state courts to become champions of civil rights. While the panelists acknowledge the transformative potential of women on the judiciary, they also highlight challenges such as politicization and the need for greater emphasis on state constitutional law.
