The American Constitution Society is pleased to host Justice Bridget Mary McCormack and Judge Judith E. Levy for a panel on their experiences as woman judges, with Professor Eve Primus moderating. Although the number of women judges in the United States is increasing, women are still a minority in the traditionally male-dominated court system. The question of why this pattern persists does not have a simple answer. Please join us on February 17 as Justice McCormack and Judge Levy share their stories, observations, and insights on their careers thus far.

Justice McCormack joined the Michigan Supreme Court in January 2013. Before her election to the Court in November 2012, she was a law professor and dean at the University of Michigan Law School. Judge Levy, Michigan Law Class of '96, is a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. She was nominated for the position by President Barack Obama on July 25, 2013, and the U.S. Senate confirmed her nomination on March 12, 2014. Professor Primus teaches criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence, and habeas corpus, and writes about structural reform in the criminal justice system. Her scholarship has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court as well as state appellate courts.

This event is co-sponsored by WLSA.
