MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Joan Churchill - July 25, 2013
|
Late July and early August are known as the "lazy hazy days of summer." However, there is nothing
lazy or hazy about NAWJ this summer. NAWJ is brimming with activity. A summary of our many
activities this month follows.
PLANNING FOR UPCOMING CONFERENCES
Foremost are the preparations for the 2013 Annual Conference in magnificent New Orleans, October 9-13.
If you haven't registered and plan to attend, don't delay. You can register using the link below. A
major highlight of this exciting conference will be the panel featuring the Landrieu family's public
service to Louisiana, including Senator Mary Landrieu, her father Moon, a former judge, legislator
and Secretary of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, sister Madeline, a judge, brother
Mitch, the Mayor of New Orleans, and his wife Cheryl, the Court clerk. The conference scholarship
subcommittee of the International Outreach Committee has received a large number of applications,
and is hard at work on the selection process.
BIG NEWS: IAWJ has selected NAWJ to host the 2016 Biennial Conference in Washington,
D.C. in the spring of 2016. See the announcement by Joan Winship, IAWJ Executive Director, copied below.
The exact dates are not yet determined. Committees will need to be formed. Please contact
Mary-Kathleen Todd at mtodd@nawj.org if you are interested in
serving on a 2016 Biennial Planning Committee.
President-Elect Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby, District of Columbia Court of Appeals, has announced
that next year's Midyear will be held in Washington, D.C.

The San Diego 2014 Conference Planning Committee held a kickoff reception on June 26 with a tour of
the new federal court house in San Diego, graciously hosted by Hon. Irma Gonzalez, U.S. District Court
Judge, who spearheaded the efforts to get it built. I was pleased to be able to attend and to feel the
excitement all around for the San Diego conference.

We have confirmation this month that NAWJ's 2015 Annual Conference will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
PROJECTS
The Informed Voter. Fair Judges. Project is moving ahead with
several active subcommittees working on educational messages about the role of judges designed to reach
voters through various types of media, in states with judicial elections. Target states are Kansas,
Tennessee, Missouri, Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin and Washington. Several organizations have
expressed interest in helping us with this. The project template can be accessed
here.
The Immigration & Human Trafficking Project will be the subject of sessions at the Annual Conference,
which will include a site visit to Eden House, a shelter for survivors. We received word this month
that the State Justice Institute has awarded NAWJ another grant for this year, a portion of which is
designed to cover enhancements to our web site to include materials about human trafficking. The
Human Trafficking subcommittee, under the chairmanship of Judge Elizabeth Lee, is moving ahead with
plans to prepare a bench book type manual for judges. Our Executive Director Marie Komisar participated
in the first meeting of the Human Trafficking consortium of which NAWJ is a part. She has also been
working on coordinating our role with the Blue Campaign of the Homeland Security Department.
COMMITTEES
In addition to the committee activities mentioned above, numerous committees have been meeting this summer.
The Awards Committee is assembling nominations for the annual awards to be given out at our conference.
Nominations are still being accepted, so be sure to nominate worthy candidates. See below for details.
The Audit Committee has had numerous tasks to address this month, as the annual audit is completed, and
other issues have surfaced. The Ethics Committee was called upon to give advice to the Board. The
Membership Committee has been working on an updated membership brochure/application. The Nominating
Committee is considering the nominations it has received for next year's slate of officers. The Tribal
Judges Outreach subcommittee is very actively engaged in encouraging Tribal judges to attend the annual
conference. The Website Improvement Task Force is very involved in the web site enhancements that are
under discussion. The Women in Prison Committee has identified issues affecting women in the California
prison system and in the federal system. See the article below for more detail.
BOARD MANUAL
Our Board Manual has been updated and revised. With recent updating of some of our policies, our updated
Board Manual should be ready for distribution very shortly.
PUBLICATIONS
In addition to the August e-newsletter, the summer issue of Counterbalance
is being finalized, and should be out soon. Many thanks to Hon. Tanya Kennedy, Vice President of Publications,
and staff member Lavinia Cousin, for their thoughtful additions, attention and care.
POSITIONS
In response to the issue about sterilizations of female inmates in California from 2006 to 2010, brought to
our attention by the Women in Prison Committee, NAWJ has written to California Governor Brown to express our
concern. Our letter is reprinted below. The Executive Committee has also been considering issues related to
judicial disqualification relating to campaign contributions, which are the subject of proposed resolutions
coming before the ABA House of Delegates. We have not taken a definite position, but are continuing to
monitor developments concerning those resolutions. We voted to co-sponsor an ABA resolution calling for
filling of federal vacancies that closely mirrors our own resolution on the subject earlier this year.
Another pending concern relates to the plans of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to relocate 1,100 women from
Danbury, Connecticut near their families, to a remote location in Alabama. Our Women in Prison Committee
is reviewing the problem. See the essay on the subject by Prof. Judith Resnik, at
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/07/women_in_federal_prison_are_being_shipped_from_danbury_to_aliceville.html.

TRAVEL
I have a heavy travel schedule the next couple weeks.
On July 25, 2013, Marie Komisar and I represented NAWJ at the Annual Award Luncheon of the National
Association of Women Lawyers held in New York City. Our devoted member Professor Judith Resnik of Yale
Law School received the Arabella Babb Mansfield Award for her role as a legal trail blazer. NAWJ was
acknowledged several times, and my presence and that of NAWJ Past President Hon. Betty Ellerin was mentioned.
NAWJ Past President Hon. LaTia Martin was also present. I met the new President of NAWL, Deb Froling, who
was installed at the luncheon, and made plans to meet to discuss mutual activities.
I shall have the honor of representing NAWJ at the Annual Meeting of the Conference of Chief Justices in
Vermont at the end of July. I shall be attending the ABA Margaret Brent Award Luncheon in San Francisco on
August 11, at which our former President, founding member Hon. Gladys Kessler will receive the Margaret
Brent Award. I look forward to the opportunity to be together with NAWJ members around the country
at each of these events.

NAWJ's International Judges Scholarship Committee Seeks Sponsors
to Increase Attendance of
International Judges at our Annual
Conference in New Orleans
|
Those of you who have attended the Annual Meetings in the past know how much the participation
of international judges enhance the value and the fun at the conferences! As in past years,
we received a generous grant from our loyal supporter, Bob Kaufman, to bring 8 to 10 judges.
But we have a BIG problem! Because our conferences are of such quality, and because of the
outreach we have done, we received 110 applications!
The International Judges Scholarship Committee met and had the job of selecting the recipients.
We found lots more judges who we want to invite to the Annual Conference in New Orleans, but we
don't have the money! Many of them face difficulties most of us can only imagine; they are
fighting the kind of gender-based challenges our founding mothers dealt with in the 50's and 60's.
We've established a priority list of invitees and are trying to find alternative sources to fund
judges from Turkey, South Africa, Armenia, Mongolia, Cameroon, Bangladesh, Nepal, The Congo,
Botswana, Ghana, Peru and Chile.
So we are asking two things of NAWJ members:
1.) If you know any person (or entity) who might be interested in sponsoring one or more of the
international judges, please contact me and give me the information so that I can follow up.
The cost of sponsoring one judge ranges between $2,000 and $4,500, depending on the cost of
air travel from the relevant country.
2.) If you are or your District is willing to help with expenses, we can combine contributions:
- $525 would pay for the registration cost for an international judge;
- $275 would pay for one night in the hotel; and
- $1,200 to 2,500 would pay for airfare.
Contributions of any size will be welcome and "bundled" with other money raised.
Please help support International judges attendance at our conference!
Contact me at jchirlin@earthlink.net or by phone (626)-584-7494.
THANKS!
Judge Judy Chirlin

NAWJ Writes the Governor of California Expressing Concern about
Reports of Female Inmates Being Sterilized in California 2006-2010
Without Required State Approval
|
The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) recently published a report on female
inmates in California being sterilized without required state approval:
Lawsuits, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and public outrage
over eugenics and similar sterilization abuses in Alabama and New York spawned new requirements
in the 1970s for doctors to fully inform patients. Since then, it's been illegal to pressure
anyone to be sterilized or ask for consent during labor or childbirth. Yet, Kimberly Jeffrey says
she was pressured by a doctor while sedated and strapped to a surgical table for a C-section in
2010, during a stint at Valley State for a parole violation. Jeffrey, 43, was horrified, she said,
and resisted. "He said, 'So we're going to be doing this tubal ligation, right?' " Jeffrey said.
"I'm like, 'Tubal ligation? What are you talking about? I don't want any procedure. I just want
to have my baby.' I went into a straight panic."

Read NAWJ's letter to Governor Jerry Brown below:
July 19, 2013
Governor Jerry Brown
c/o State Capitol, Suite 1173
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Governor Brown:
We write on behalf of the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ), Women in Prison Committee, regarding
the reported sterilization of at least one hundred and forty eight incarcerated women between 2006 and 2010,
by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Press reports are that the women were
sterilized without the necessary required informed consent and state approval. On behalf of NAWJ's Women
in Prison Committee, we recommend a thorough investigation to determine the accuracy of the press report.
If the facts are confirmed, those responsible must be held accountable and safeguards must be put in place
to prevent a repeat of this inhumane treatment of incarcerated women. If you have already initiated an inquiry,
the Committee would welcome a report of the inquiry's finding.
NAWJ is a non-profit organization of more than 1,200 federal, state, administrative, tribal, and military
judges from across the country. Founded in California in 1979, NAWJ has served as the nation's leading voice
for jurists dedicated to preserving judicial independence and ensuring equal justice and access to the courts
for women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. NAWJ has long pursued a Women in Prison Project to
address the disparities in conditions of incarceration that have an adverse impact on women. The Committee is
confident you will act to ensure the rights of incarcerated women are respected by the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Joan V. Churchill
President, National Association of Women Judges

In Memorial - Hon. Rosalie Wahl
First Woman to Serve on Minnesota's Supreme Court
|
|
From Minnesota Public Radio News online: "Rosalie Wahl grew from Quaker roots in Kansas, her early life
punctuated by loss, to become the first woman to serve on the Minnesota Supreme Court. She died
July 22, 2013 at the age of 88. "She was very much instrumental in ensuring opportunity of access for
women and people of color as judges, but also with her work on the committee that looked into gender bias
and racial bias in our judicial system," Page (Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page) said.
"She was all about ensuring fairness for everyone and access for everyone."
