Pathways to the Bench: The Journey to Judgeship as a Woman of Color – In Honor of Black History Month

Wednesday, February 22, 2023
12:00 PM EST / 11:00 AM CST / 10:00 AM MST / 9:00 AM PST

Joint webinar with the Federal Bar Association's Diversity & Inclusion Standing Committee.

Each day,  judges are charged with making decisions that impact the livelihoods and rights of the litigants appearing before them. Many people have declared that it is of utmost importance that the judiciary reflects the population it serves, and that diversity on the bench is essential to instill confidence in the system.  While positive efforts have been made to diversify courts, there is still ample room for improvement.

In honor of Black History Month, please join the Federal Bar Association’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and the National Association of Women Judges as they offer a program to highlight and chronicle the career path of three diverse lawyers who were successful in their journey to take a seat on the bench. This webinar will feature insights and guidance on how the panelists navigated the judicial selection process and constantly grapple with the impact of their decisions in the American legal system.
