This edited collection asks how key New Zealand judgments might
read if they were written by a feminist judge. Feminist judging is
an emerging critical legal approach that works within the confines
of common law legal method to challenge the myth of judicial
neutrality and illustrate how the personal experiences and
perspectives of judges may influence the reasoning and outcome of
their decisions. Uniquely, this book includes a set of cases
employing an approach based on mana wahine, the use of Maori values
that recognise the complex realities of Maori women's lives.
Through these feminist and mana wahine judgments, it opens
possibilities of more inclusive judicial decision making for the
future. 'This project stops us in our tracks and asks us: how could
things have been different? At key moments in our legal history,
what difference would it have made if feminist judges had been at
the tiller? By doing so, it raises a host of important questions.
What does it take to be a feminist judge? Would we want our judges
to be feminists and if so why? Is there a uniquely female
perspective to judging?' Professor Claudia Geiringer, Faculty of
Law, Victoria University of Wellington 'With this book, some of our
leading jurists expose the biases and power structures that
underpin legal rules and the interpretation of them. Some also give
voice to mana wahine perspectives on and about the law that have
become invisible over time, perpetuating the impacts of colonialism
and patriarchy combined on Maori women. I hope this book will be a
catalyst for our nation to better understand and then seek to
ameliorate these impacts.' Dr Claire Charters, Associate Professor,
Faculty of Law, University of Auckland 'The work is highly
illuminating and is critical to the development of our legal system
... It is crucial, not only for legal education, so that students
of the law open their minds to the different ways legal problems
can be conceptualised and decided. It is also crucial if we are
going to have a truly just legal system where all the different
voices and perspectives are fairly heard.' Professor Mark Henaghan,
Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Otago 'I believe this
project is particularly important, as few academics or researchers
in New Zealand concentrate on judicial method. I am therefore
hopeful that it will provoke thoughtful debate in a critical area
for society.' The Honourable Justice Helen Winkelmann, New Zealand
Court of Appeal
