Judges 4-5 introduces us to some strong female characters whose actions are explicitly credited as divine actions. These stories make us ask serious questions about “whose side” God is on.
Afghani judge Raihana Attaee had to flee her country when the Taliban returned to power and it became clear her life was in danger. Her escape was arranged by the International Association of Women Judges and, in October 2021, she flew first to Greece and later to New Zealand. Raihana, who was a judge in the court for the elimination of violence against women, is now studying law at the University of Auckland. She wants gender apartheid to be internationally recognised as a crime.
Our show this week concentrates on the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC). We were triggered by the strange take on a sexual assault case from Justice Sheila Martin, who took issue with the word "woman." Then John reads out a few woke posts from the Court's X account. We also go over an excellent column on the SCC by Barry W. Bussey in The Epoch Times, and we review the Court's decision not to hear the Justice Centre's Manitoba lockdown challenge. A few sympathetic words are reserved for the Chief Justice in his struggle with the federal government to get more judges appointed.National Post, Mar 13, 2024: Supreme Court decision opts for 'person with a vagina' over 'woman'CanLII, Mar 8, 2024: R. v.

A small group of international women judges, led by Patricia Whalen and Mona Lynch, tirelessly coordinated evacuations and sought government assistance to help these women escape. Join host Terri Mascherin for an inspiring conversation with Judges Whalen and Lynch as they share their remarkable story of bravery and perseverance.
As I wrangle Rabbi Boyarsky from his office to the podcast studio, he asks me if I kept my end of our deal and if I put tefflin on every day for a hundred days. I responded, “I'm not perfect, but I substantially complied.” Rabbi Boyarsky snaps at me, “I disagree. You are perfect.” I have recorded over 100 episodes in the studio where we filmed this one. Never has anyone remembered the studio engineer's name. Rabbi Boyarsky interacted with him and thanked him on a first name basis as we closed. I kept that in at the end of the episode. Rabbi Zvi Boyarsky has a lot on his shoulders. He's a director for the Aleph Institute –or Aleph– as their employees and clients call it. Aleph is a humanitarian nonprofit org for prisoners' rights. Rabbi Boyrasky's signature is an unfailing smile. But the first night I began to do work for Aleph, he looked like he hadn't slept or smiled in a week. I asked what has been keeping him up all night. The question energizes him. “There's a Holocaust going on right now in Afghanistan.” This was the summer of 2021. The United States had for decades artificially shored up Afghanistan, and suddenly the U.S. military presence vanished. I knew this much from the news but didn't understand the urgency in Rabbi Boyarsky's dark green eyes. He said: “Taliban gunmen control Kabul's airport. These terrorists are going door to door hunting down judges that prosecuted them, especially the women judges. Taliban are slaughtering women for having the audacity to be judges. We're trying to get them out.” Reb Zvi was talking about using political connections Aleph had developed with Qatar, a rich neighboring Arab country with influence over the Taliban, to coordinate bus transport of a hundred women judges and their dependents to Pakistan. I wanted to help. “What can I do?” I learned that Aleph had been working on this nonstop since Rabbi Boyarsky saw the news unfold. They had linked with a Baroness in London (Helena Kennedy, Queens Counsel, and President of the International Bar Association) as well as U.S.-based, International Association of Women Judges who had their members in Afghanistan at mortal risk. The Taliban had publicly called for the killing of many of these judges. The terrorists were bombarding the judiciary members' phones with death threats and videos of them murdering other judges. They were out for blood. Their lethal attacks were aimed on these judges because they had ordered them behind bars for rape, murder, or lesser crimes. Now these criminals were free and suddenly in power. Under chaos, darkness, and gunfire the women were running with their families to safehouses to avoid capture. Rabbi Boyarsky's efforts with many others chartered planes filled with refugees to Greece and the U AE. Next, Aleph and the IAWJ are linking families with government officials for visas. Many judges found refuge in Germany and Canada who have been more receptive to admitting Afghan refugees. Justice Susan Glazebrook, acting Judge for the Supreme Court of New Zealand and President of the IAWJ, as well as the immediate past president of the IAWJ, Judge Vanessa Ruiz of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals led this endeavor with Aleph. Aleph turned its focus on the United States to lift asylum red tape. (Notice how in a big way this was a women-helping-women effort, which is its own dimension of inspiration.) One Aleph donor is a Hasidic Jew that prefers to keep a low profile. He provided the primary resources to assist one chartered plane. He wished to refer to the evacuation operation as “Schmendel” a nonsensical Yiddish word. His goal was to draw attention far away from his involvement, associates, and money he generously contributed to the mission. This resulted in some broken telephone that made the Afghan refugees believe that the person's actual name that funded the plane was Schmendel. Thus, they held signs and took pictures of themselves on the plane and in Greece thanking Aleph and Mr. Schmendel. These Afghan judges were at the height of their society, and they had risked a lot to get there, and suddenly they found themselves with nothing, with a new need to rebuild lives from scratch in foreign lands. My grandparents survived the Holocaust and had to do this with no outside help. Nothing can erase the events that caused the plight of these people but knowing that there are people are out there fighting to help and doing whatever they can to help must be inspiring to them. It's inspiring to me. Rabbi Boyarsky embodies the Aleph slogan: No one forgotten. No one left behind. I was introduced to Rabbi Boyarsky through Rabbi Yitzy Horowitz. A special person that has created community for me and my family and for whom I'm very grateful. To donate to Aleph, click here: https://aleph-institute.org/wp/donation/
Join Ben and Rahul for their interview of San Francisco trial lawyer, Sarah London of Lieff Cabraser. Sarah explains how her interest in community organizing ultimately led her to a career as a plaintiff trial lawyer. She views the law as the ultimate weapon for promoting positive societal change. Not long after becoming a lawyer, Sarah London found herself in Florida trying case after case against the big tobacco companies. At first, the plaintiffs were losing every trial. But in time, they found strategies to turn the cases around, win, and obtain large verdicts. This experience of trying similar cases over and over provided a laboratory for better understanding of how to select juries and frame a case for trial success. The insights gained through this process are valuable not just for tobacco litigation, but anyone who conducts jury trials. Sarah was recently appointed as co-lead counsel for the Juul litigation. Sarah's insights into trial lawyer are both practical and inspirational. You won't want to miss this episode! About Sarah London“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”Martin Luther King, Jr. A partner in Lieff Cabraser's San Francisco office, Sarah R. London is a determined, skilled, and experienced advocate for the injured, employees, and consumers.In February of 2020, Sarah was appointed to the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee in the Gilead HIV Drug Kidney & Bone Injuries Litigation. In December of 2019, she was appointed to serve as Co-Lead Counsel and Liaison Counsel for plaintiffs in the nationwide multidistrict Juul e-cigarette fraud and injury litigation. In September of 2019, Sarah was appointed by Judge Judith E. Levy to serve as Subclass Settlement Counsel in In re Flint Water Cases, the federal class action lawsuit seeking justice for the over 100,000 residents of Flint, Michigan who were exposed to seriously elevated levels of lead as a result of insufficient water treatment.Sarah also serves in lead roles in women's health cases, including work as court-appointed Liaison Counsel and Interim Class Counsel in the federal class action filed on behalf of families in May 2018 against San Francisco's Pacific Fertility Center over the Center's March 2018 allegedly negligent destruction of hundreds of frozen eggs and embryos as a result of a leak in a cryogenic storage tank. Sarah also served in a leadership role in successful litigation recovering millions of dollars on behalf of women who suffered serious injuries due to complications from allegedly defective trans-vaginal surgical mesh.Sarah has been directly involved in several recent California environmental disaster cases, including litigation against Plains All American Pipeline arising out of the 2015 oil spill in Santa Barbara, and two important class action cases on behalf of homeowners and businesses that suffered economic injuries in the wake of the massive Porter Ranch gas leak, which began in October of 2015 and lasted into February of 2016.A Super Lawyers Rising Star for eight consecutive years and 2015 finalist for the Consumer Attorneys of California Streetfighter of the Year Award, Sarah has held multiple leadership positions in CAOC, including her current position on the Board of Directors. In September 2019, Sarah was appointed Chair of the Resource Board of the National Association of Women Judges.
In this final installment of our series highlighting stories of the achievements and challenges faced by some of the most distinguished women judges in our history, we speak with former Chief Justice Peggy Quince of the Florida Supreme Court, who is featured in the ABA's recently published Her Honor - Stories of Challenge and Triumph from Women Judges, edited by Lauren Rikleen.Raised by a single father in Virginia with her four siblings, Chief Justice Peggy Quince learned early on what it means to be treated unfairly. In 1954, the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the policy of “separate but equal” justifying segregation in schools was unconstitutional in the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education. The decision had little practical or positive impact on the course of young Peggy's education - many white schools actively resisted efforts to integrate, with some shuttering for years to avoid it. Still she persevered. Justice Quince tells us about the profound influence her father, Solomon Quince, had on her education. He was determined to afford his children the education he had been denied. Peggy excelled at school and after graduating from Howard University, she was inspired by both the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement, to pursue a career in the law. In 1993, she was appointed to the Second District Court of Appeal and then in 1999, she was appointed as the first African American woman to serve as a Justice on the Florida Supreme Court. From 2008-2010, she served as Chief Justice.Episode Resources:Her Honor: Stories of Challenge and Triumph from Women JudgesJustice Peggy A.

Welcome to Part 2 of our series highlighting stories of the achievements and challenges faced by some of the most distinguished women judges in our history. We are honored to speak today with Professor Deborah Jones Merritt. Debby believes that true progress only occurs in the presence of a great deal of optimism. She witnessed such optimism in none other than Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg as their law clerk. She speaks with us today about how the wisdom and unique perspectives of these remarkable women has shaped this nation's history as well as her own philosophy and career path. In the earliest days of Debby's legal career she had the enviable good fortune of clerking for both the then- Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she was somewhat unexpectedly appointed to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and then for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in her first year on the United States Supreme Court. Indeed the lessons she learned from RBG and SOC built the framework for the rest of her career, much of which she has focused on teaching law students how to be good lawyers. Our episode last week featured Lauren Rikleen, the editor of the ABA's recently published Her Honor: Stories of Challenge and Triumph from Women Judges. Debby authored the concluding essay in this compilation, which highlights the significant contributions of the honorable Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to justice and the rule of law.

International Day of Women Judges with Justice Agnes Murgor | Capital in The Morning
When Lauren Stiller Rikleen was approached in 2020 by the ABA Judicial Division to help compile autobiographical stories from women judges in America, a powerful motivating factor for her was to capture stories of the barriers the judges overcame in their own words. Rikleen, a former law firm partner and consultant who writes and speaks about the importance of cross-generational communication, tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles that she hopes millennial and Gen Z readers will benefit from the reflections of women judges from the Silent Generation, baby boomers and Gen X. Some of the challenges they faced will not similarly impede younger generations, but other obstacles are familiar, formidable and still present. “[E]ven as gains are made, biases are deep and systemic, requiring the vigilance of every generation to continue the difficult work of achieving full equity for all,” Rikleen writes in her introduction to Her Honor: Stories of Challenge and Triumph from Women Judges. Bookended by essays about the former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Her Honor compiles reflections by the living jurists or essays about the lives of judges who have passed on. The 25 women jurists are all honorees of the Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Awards, selected by the Commission on Women in the Profession. Rikleen herself has received a Margaret Brent award, and says it was a fair-handed way to narrow down participants. Past Margaret Brent honorees who also contributed to Her Honor include previous guests of the Modern Law Library podcast, Judge Bernice Bouie Donald and Judge M. Margaret McKeown. The judges write about the paths they took to the judiciary; their struggles to balance their work and personal lives; the people who mentored and encouraged them; and their triumphs and regrets. “They are different in every particular, yet what unites them in the aggregate is profound: This is a book about imagination, and what it took and still takes for women, and by extension other minorities invisible to the Constitution and the law, to imagine themselves into a structure that didn't include them,” Dahlia Lithwick, senior legal correspondent at Slate, wrote in the forward to the book. In addition to discussing Her Honor, Rikleen and Rawles get into another project to which Rikleen has devoted her time. She is the executive director of Lawyers Defending American Democracy, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that works to uphold democratic norms and the rule of law. They also discuss the “three Cs” promoted by ABA President Deborah Enix-Ross: civics, civility and collaboration.

Judges: Victorious Women Judges 4:1-24 One Single Story Sunday, February 12, 2023 Pastor Stephen Mizell Open Door Church, Edenton, NC
M.C. Sungaila has advocated at some of the highest levels of appellate law, and last year took her experience and her heart for mentoring and public interest work to the Portia Project podcast, where she distills the wisdom and experience of women judges, justices, and top attorneys in the nation.M.C. sits down with Tim Kowal and Jeff Lewis on the California Appellate Law Podcast to discuss some of the insights and recurring themes and advice she's gleaned from having interviewed now over 100 of the most successful women in the legal profession today:The “watershed moment” in the 1980s when Sandra Day O'Connor became the first woman on the Supreme Court, opening the floodgates for women in law.The varied paths to the bench, taken by lawyers who never thought it possible.A law degree doesn't just mean one thing, and success sometimes mean failing at your first try, second try, etc., until you find the right fit.The disconnect between lawyers and judges: Advocates are looking for an outcome, but appellate judges are looking for an opinion.Appellate judges look at oral argument as another part of their process in preparing to make their decision.

Last time we looked at Judges 4 as a tale of two women. Deborah and Jael took center stage. Tonight we must add a third woman to flesh out the story.--Sisera's mother, Deborah, and Jael are the three main characters- Barak and Sisera are almost bit players. --All three times Barak is mentioned, he is named immediately after Deborah. You would never say -Barak and Deborah-, any more than you would say -Aaron and Moses-. Yes, there are five times in the Bible where Aaron gets named first, and all five are in genealogical accounts where he gets the proper credit for being the firstborn. But all other 66 times - all other 66 times - Moses is named first---So the fact that Barak is named after Deborah throughout the poem, makes it clear that he is subordinate to her. And this took place -in the days of Shamgar, son of Anath- and -in the days of Jael-. As Deborah had prophesied, Barak does not get the glory for this victory---Sisera is named four times in the poem. First as the one against whom the stars fought -v 20-. Second as the one whom Jael struck -v 26-. Third as the son of his mother -v 28-. And finally in his mother's fond dream -v 30-. Sisera appears in this song as one who is acted upon by others.--If all we had was the poem, then all we would know is that the Israelites were involved in a battle with the Canaanite army, led by Sisera, that Deborah and Barak were key figures in leading Israel into battle, that not all the tribes responded, that some sort of meteorological event intervened in the battle, and that Jael killed the enemy general.--So the prose account is crucial for giving us the details - but the poetic account helps us make out what is really going on.
For the next two weeks we will be looking a the same story from two perspectives. This week we have the prose story of Deborah and Barak. And in two Sundays, we'll hear how the Song of Deborah retells the story, and adds a few choice details...

Many Afghans are still trying to escape their country after the Taliban took over in August but few are as threatened as women judges. In 2009 the Elimination of Violence Against women was signed by then President Hamid KarzaI and in the years that followed, courts led by female judges opened in provinces around the country, enforcing laws protecting women from violence and abuse. Since the Taliban opened the prisons, many of those jailed are now free and threatening the lives of the women who locked them up. Now, the chaos that followed the Western exit from Afghanistan has made it that much more difficult for the women to escape. Today on the Take we hear their stories and the plight of the international legal community trying to get them out.

Twenty years ago, the People confirmed that Patricia J. Titus was the "Right Choice for Justice," and elected her as Judge of the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles. With Exodus 18:21 as her foundation, Judge Titus' campaign was set apart from its inception. Because of her character, integrity, professional ability and legacy of community involvement, her candidacy garnered endorsements from a broad cross section of national, state, and local elected officials, pastors, community leaders, judges and attorneys. Since February, 2009, Judge Titus has been assigned to the Inglewood Superior Court where she hears requests for domestic violence and civil harassment restraining orders and presides over the Drug Court. In honor of her 20th year as a judge and as a community service, she has published the book, “F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for LIFE: 7 Keys to Supporting Loved Ones Experiencing Domestic Violence.” Using the word “friends” as an acronym, Judge Titus educates, enlightens and empowers the reader by providing an easy-to-follow guide on how to support the people experiencing domestic abuse in their lives. Judge Titus served as the Judicial Advisor for the California Legislative Black Caucus' Black History exhibit which was on display in the Capitol Rotunda in Sacramento, in San Francisco in the Great Hall of the California Judicial Council and here, in Los Angeles, at the California African American Museum. The exhibit, entitled “And Justice for All,” acknowledged and celebrated the 70th anniversary of the appointment of the first African American Superior Court judge to preside over a California courtroom as well as commemorated the 50th anniversary of the appointment of the first African American Appellate Court justice. Judge Titus has also participated in the Superior Court's “Adoption Day” where she finalized the adoption of over 40 children into loving homes and she has administered the oath of office to numerous public officials and civic leaders. Prior to her election, she enjoyed a 15-year career as a criminal prosecutor with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. A top-level felony trial attorney, she established a reputation for excellence in trial and received national media acclaim when she convicted a prominent Ladera Heights businessman of the domestic violence drowning murder of Michael Jackson's former sister-in-law, Delores “Dee Dee” Jackson, who was the former wife of Tito Jackson of the Jackson 5. In the trial of this case, she worked with the Trial Support Department of the DA's Office to draw a female autopsy figure so that the victim's 58 blunt force traumatic injuries could be accurately detailed. The female autopsy form remains in use to date. Prior to her trial, all victims had been depicted using a male autopsy figure. Her successful prosecution of this case was profiled on Court TV and is highlighted in the book, “For the People,” which chronicles the history of high-profile prosecutions in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office from 1850-2000. While in the DA's office, Judge Titus wrote the first draft of legislation now known as “The Safely Surrendered Baby Law (S.B. 1368).” Under this legislation, within 72-hours of birth, a mother may surrender her newborn child confidentially at an emergency room or fire station without fear of prosecution for child endangerment or abandonment. Judge Titus is a charter and life member of the Association of African American California Judicial Officers, the California Association of Black Lawyers, Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, Inc., and the John M. Langston Bar Association. She is a member of the American Bar Association Judicial Council, California Judges Association, National Bar Association Judicial Council and the National Association of Women Judges. Judge Titus is a past president of Black Women Lawyers of Los Angeles, Inc., a former trustee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, and a former board member of the National Bar Association, California Women Lawyers, John M. Langston Bar Association, Multicultural Bar Alliance, and Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Judge Titus was born and raised in Los Angeles. She received her bachelor's degree from Stanford University and juris doctorate from the UCLA School of Law. Judge Titus is a member of the Harbor Area Chapter (CA) of The Links, Incorporated and the Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She is also a Registered Parliamentarian and a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians and a member of Toastmasters International with the designation of Distinguished Toastmaster.

Dr Imane Chaara (QEH Oxford), Dr Doris Gray (Al Akhawayn University), Dr Nadia Sonneveld (Radboud University) take part in a discussion at the Middle East Studies centre. Chair by Michael Willis (St Antony's College). About the speakers: Dr. Imane Chaara (QEH Oxford) Title: Moroccan Mothers' Religiosity. Impact on Daughters' Education Abstract: The participation of mothers in decisions within their household has non-neutral effects and in many instances positive impacts, especially on children’s health and education. In this chapter, I focus on the participation of women in decisions concerning girls’ education, and I investigate whether mothers’ religiosity could be related to their involvement in education decisions. By analysing data I collected in Morocco in 2008, I found a positive and significant correlation between the intensity of religious practice of the mothers and their participation in decisions concerning their daughters’ education. This result is driven by women with limited or no formal education, which suggests that religion acts as a factor that compensates for the lack of education. I use qualitative information to explore one potential mechanism and question whether religion could play the same role as education regarding consciousness-raising about the importance of children’s education and self-valuation of women with respect to their capacity to play a key role within their household. I argue that, in the context of Morocco, the existence of a religious movement that is socially influential may drive the empirical results. Dr Imane Chaara is a micro-economist and Research Associate at the Oxford Department of International Development, where she was Departmental Lecturer in Development Economics between October 2012 and September 2017. Her research focuses on institutional transformations in developing countries, legal reforms and the change of social norms, access to justice and rule of law, gender issues and women’s rights, as well as intra-household decision-making. Her research investigates, among others, the role of legal reforms in confronting unfair customs and social norms, the impact of religious identity on people’s behaviour, and the interplay between justice systems (state formal and customary institutions). More recently, she contributed to the Refugee Studies Centre project “Refugee Economies” and she did research on the economic strategies developed by refugees in Eastern Africa. Her work is both theoretical and empirical, mostly using first-hand original data. Dr. Doris H. Gray Title: Women and Social Change in North Africa: What Counts as Revolutionary? Abstract: This presentation asks what social change – in women’s rights, religion, migration, and law – is, and when it counts as revolutionary. We argue that a highly contextual approach is needed to capture changes that are not always immediately visible, but which nevertheless contribute to human development. We discuss the cross-cultural collaboration that resulted in this book and present one chapter that illustrates the point of social change where least expected: “Moroccan Mother's Religiosity: Impact on Daughter's Education.” Dr. Doris H. Gray directs the Hillary Clinton Center for Women’s Empowerment at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco where she also serves as Associate Professor of Gender Studies. Her latest publication with the International Center of Transitional Justice in New York is entitled “Who hears my voice today? Indirect Women Victims in Tunisia.” She has published three books: “Women and Social Change in North Africa: What counts as Revolutionary?”, “Beyond Feminism and Islamism: Gender and Equality in North Africa” and “Muslim Women on the Move: Moroccan Women and French Women of Moroccan Origin Speak Out”. Before becoming an Academic, she worked as a journalist, 12 years as foreign correspondent first in South Africa and then Kenya. Dr. Nadia Sonneveld Title: Women and Social Change in North Africa: What is Social Change? Abstract: This presentation asks what social change – in women’s rights, religion, migration, and law – is, and when it counts as revolutionary. We argue that a highly contextual approach is needed to capture changes that are not always immediately visible, but which nevertheless contribute to human development. Dr. Nadia Sonneveld has an academic background in anthropology, Arabic, and law. She is affiliated to the Van Vollenhoven Institute for Law, Governance, and Society, Leiden University, the Netherlands. The common factor in all her research activities is the focus on gender and law in Muslim-majority countries, particularly in Egypt and Morocco.

GENDER AND JUDGING: WOMEN ON THE BENCH Does it matter if you go before a male or a female judge? Do they make different decisions? And here’s an easy one: are there more men judges or women judges? Twenty years ago, pundits explained the low numbers of women on the bench by pointing out the low numbers of female law school grads. That explanation no longer holds water. So where are the women judges, and why should we care? Dr. Sally Kenney is the co-founder and co-chair of the Law And Society’s Collaborative Research Network on Women Judges, and has researched gender and judging, judicial selection, feminist social movements, women and electoral politics, the European Court of Justice, exclusionary employment policies, and pregnancy discrimination. Her most recent book, Gender and Justice: Why Women in the Judiciary Really Matter, was published by Routledge Press in 2013. She has worked closely with the academic network of the National Association of Women Judges and in 2013, she received the National Association of Women Judges Florence Murray Award. She has also conducted trainings for judges in Tbilisi, Georgia and Nairobi, Kenya, as well as throughout the United States. She also is a founder of the Infinity Project, an organization that works to increase gender diversity of federal judges. Join us as we talk gender and judging with Dr. Sally Kenney.
