Bringing Gender-related Judicial Education
to Your State

State and federal judges participate in continuing education programs of various kinds on a voluntary, or in a few instances, mandatory basis. To learn whether your state or federal circuit currently offers judicial education programs about gender bias and integrates gender-related issues throughout the curriculum, contact a judicial educator in your state or federal circuit to encourage course offerings on gender fairness in the courts.
