The Gavel Gap
For the first time, researchers have gathered data on the demographics of state court judges in all 50 states. They found troubling differences between the race and gender composition of the courts and the communities they serve. We call this disparity The Gavel Gap.
Join the Puget Sound Lawyer Chapter, Washington Women Lawyers, Loren Miller Bar Association, Latino/a Bar Association of Washington, and the Northwest Indian Bar Association to discuss this eye opening report and what may be done to address this issue, featuring the Honorable Johanna Bender of King County Superior Court, with time for Q/A.
