摘要

摘要现有的学术主要关注黑人女法官晋升法官的经历，而在很大程度上忽视了这些法官进入法庭后的经历。我以163名黑人女法官的原始调查为基础，以她们的声音、反思和观点为中心，探讨了黑人女性在司法部门的经历。这些女性报告称，诉讼当事人和律师对她们的严重不尊重，并分享了她们如何在做出公平裁决的能力方面受到质疑。这些法学家的经历突显了有多少黑人女法官处理破坏性、有辱人格、恐吓和被动的攻击行为、轻蔑的对待和阴险的非语言行为。

Her Honor: Black Women Judges’ Experiences with Disrespect and Recusal Requests in the American Judiciary

ABSTRACT Existing scholarship has mainly focused on the experiences of Black women judges as they ascend to the bench and has largely overlooked the experiences of these judges once they reach the court. I address the topic of Black women’s experiences in the judiciary by drawing on an original survey with 163 Black women judges and centering their voices, reflections, and perspectives. These women report substantial disrespect by litigants and attorneys and share how they experience questioning about their ability to render fair decisions. These jurists’ experiences highlight how many Black women judges deal with disruptive, demeaning, intimidating, and passive-aggressive behavior, dismissive treatment, and insidious nonverbal behavior.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
