The judicial system in a liberal democracy is deemed to be an
independent branch of government with judges free from political
agendas or societal pressures. In reality, judges are often
influenced by their economic and social backgrounds, gender, race,
religion, and sexuality. This volume explores the representation of
different identities in the judiciary in the United States. The
contributors investigate the pipeline, ambition, institutional
inclusion, retention, and representation of groups previously
excluded from federal, state, and local judiciaries. This study
demonstrates how diversity on the bench improves the quality of
justice, bolsters confidence in the legitimacy of the courts, and
provides a vital voice in decision-making power for formerly
disenfranchised populations.
