Abstract
This chapter examines why women's progress in becoming state and federal court judges has been so slow and may be stalled or reversing. It looks at how federal and state court judges are selected, examines President Jimmy Carter's great leap forward in integrating the federal judiciary, and considers whether women do better under one method of selection than another. It analyses evidence that women decide cases differently from men, and examines the judiciary as a gendered institution and judicial selection and elections as most definitely gendered.
