Women Judges--Why So Few?

Ness, Susan; Wechsler, Fredrica

Graduate Woman, v73 n6 p10-12 Nov-Dec 1979

Examines the Omnibus Judgeship Act and the process of making judicial appointments in an effort to explain why there are so few women judges. Suggests that the restricted number of women lawyers, sex discrimination within the legal profession, and lack of political power are responsible for this condition. (SF)
