INTRODUCTION Three years ago in 2017, the Women’s Initiative Task Force of the New York State Bar Association, Commercial and Federal Litigation Section (the “Task Force”) wrote a ground-breaking report entitled “If Not Now When? Achieving Equality for Women Attorneys in the Courtroom and in ADR” (the “2017 Report”). The 2017 Report included the results of a first-of-its-kind observational study based on questionnaires completed by state and federal judges throughout New York State that tracked the appearances of women in speaking roles in New York courts during the period September-December. The 2017 Report also compiled statistics on the percentage of women appointed as mediators and arbitrators in alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”). The 2017 Report revealed that female attorneys comprised only about 25 percent of attorneys in lead counsel roles in courtrooms throughout New York State. This low percentage of women attorneys appearing in a speaking role in courts was found at every level and in every type of court: upstate and downstate, federal and state, trial and appellate, criminal and civil, ex parte applications and 1 NY 78077272v2 multi-party matters.

The Role of the American Bar Association in the Selection of Federal Judges: Episodic Involvement to Institutionalized Power Joel B. Grossman* The American Bar Association now has a strong voice in the selection of federal judges. It has attained this influence through many years of efforts to have recognized the wisdom of allowing members of the profession to pass on the qualifications of those who will judge their cases. Mr. Grossman traces the development of the ABA's influence in this area and concludes that its success has been in large part a product of the development of the ABA itself into a representative body of the American legal profession. One phenomenon of recent domestic politics has been the re- surgence of the American Bar Association as a vital, and often influential, group in the political process as well as in the legal profession.

  • SEXISM “RELATED to the PRACTICE of LAW”: the ABA MODEL RULE 8.4(G) CONTROVERSY
    SEXISM “RELATED TO THE PRACTICE OF LAW”: THE ABA MODEL RULE 8.4(g) CONTROVERSY ASHLEY HART* INTRODUCTION If you want to play with me, this is what you’ll have to put up with. I will use your gender to ridicule you, to embarrass you, and to discredit you. I will call you by your first name or any other diminutive term I can get away with. I will sexualize you, trivialize you, and ignore you. If I do it long enough, maybe you will finally go away.1 Take a historical glance at graduating class composite photographs that today line the walls in most law schools. Examine closely the studious expressions of the faces staring back, to see significantly fewer female portraits interjected among this prevailing “man’s world.”2 This is a snapshot of the legal profession that begins to slowly change as the viewer turns the corner to gaze at the legal scholars arising out of more recent years. Do you see an increasingly gender- balanced picture? Currently, this Note author attends the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, home to a female population of approximately forty-five to fifty-one percent of full-time students and thirty-eight to fifty percent of part-time students, recorded between 2015 and 2016.3 The integration of females entering the practice of law poses the question of whether or not equality in the field has similarly evolved at a sufficient pace to address * J.D.

  • Gay Panic Defense, 42 U.C
    113A AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ADOPTED BY THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES AUGUST 12-13, 2013 RESOLUTION RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association urges federal, tribal, state, local and territorial governments to take legislative action to curtail the availability and effectiveness of the “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses, which seek to partially or completely excuse crimes such as murder and assault on the grounds that the victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity is to blame for the defendant’s violent reaction. Such legislative action should include: (a) Requiring courts in any criminal trial or proceeding, upon the request of a party, to instruct the jury not to let bias, sympathy, prejudice, or public opinion influence its decision about the victims, witnesses, or defendants based upon sexual orientation or gender identity; and (b) Specifying that neither a non-violent sexual advance, nor the discovery of a person’s sex or gender identity, constitutes legally adequate provocation to mitigate the crime of murder to manslaughter, or to mitigate the severity of any non-capital crime. 1 113A REPORT Executive Summary Jorge Steven Lopez-Mercado, age 19, was decapitated, dismembered and burned for being openly gay, but according to the police investigator on the case, “people who live this lifestyle need to be aware that this will happen.” When Matthew Shepard, age 21, made a pass at two men in a gay bar, he should have expected to be beaten, pistol-whipped, tied to a fence, and left to die. When Emile Bernard was stabbed, beaten and blinded after coming on to a hitchhiker, his assailant claimed he could not be guilty since the victim “was asking for trouble” by making sexual advances.

INTRODUCTION We cannot but think the common law wise in excluding women from the profession of law.... The law of nature destines and qual- ifies the female sex for the bearing and nurture of the children of our race and for the custody of the homes of the world and their maintenance in love and honor. And all life-long callings of women, inconsistent with these radical and sacred duties of their sex, as is the profession of law, are departures from the order of nature; and when voluntary, treason against it.' Images of women in journals, magazines, newspapers, cinema, television and the Internet are underrepresented and, when they do appear, are often confined to rigid stereotypes.
