Federal Bar Association: Working Toward Gender Equality in Public Life - 3/15

Women in the Judiciary – Working Toward Gender Equality in Public Life

Wednesday, March 15 | 4:00–5:00 p.m. EDT

This event demonstrates the role that women play in the judiciary and how gender equality strengthens accountability across and within governmental bodies. With presentations by multiple federal judges in the U.S., we’ll explore how a justice system can strive for gender-balanced representation in decision-making positions in public life by encouraging greater participation of women in government at all levels, as well as in judiciaries and other public institutions. The program will highlight recent public-private initiatives to pair former law clerks with law students, including international LLM law students, in a model judicial academy program in the service of improving gender equality in public employment, and explore how such programs strengthen both domestic and international co-operation through continuously sharing knowledge, lessons learned and good practices on gender equality and mainstreaming initiatives in public institutions.

Presented by the Judiciary Division & International Law Section
