Reading Comprehension
TEXT 1
The Guardian
How feminism could improve judicial decisionmaking

What difference would it make if a judge's feminist values and
perspectives were included in their decision-making?
Baroness Hale of Richmond believes that reading the judgments ought to be a chastening experience for any
judge who believes himself or herself to be both true to their judicial oath and a neutral observer of the
world.
Can judges be feminists? Should judges be feminists? On one view the answer is easy: no. We don't want our
judges to be activists. We don't want them to promote their own political agendas. We want them to do their
job. We want them to apply the law.
Now, of course, we can all agree that we want our judges to take their judicial responsibilities seriously. But
judges especially those at the highest levels are often called on to make decisions where the existing legal
rules provide no clear answer. In such cases, the judge must turn to their own sense of justice, of what is right
and wrong, to decide the case. And this will differ from judge to judge. None of this is controversial. Judges
often disagree, and not simply on what the authorities say but on the direction the law should take.
So, given that judges will, sometimes, have no choice but to fall back on their own values and perspectives,
why shouldn't feminist values and perspectives be included? And if they were, what difference might this
make to the law and the way cases are decided?
The Feminist Judgments Project offers a vision as to what the law might look like if there were (more)
feminist judges, and in doing so, challenges our thinking about law and judging. More than 50 academics,
practitioners and activists have come together to produce 23 alternative feminist judgments in a series of key
cases in English law.
In R v A (No 2), for example, instead of rules restricting the use of sexual history evidence in rape trials being
overturned by an all-male House of Lords (itself the subject of a legal challenge by the Fawcett Society), the
feminist judgment by Clare McGlynn upholds the restrictions, challenging the assumption at the heart of the
case: that a woman who has agreed to have sex with a particular man is simply by virtue of that fact more
likely to do so again at another time.
Other cases include attorney-general for Jersey v Holley, in which Susan Edwards dissents from the majority
of the Privy Council. She argues that the defence of provocation should be sensitive to the specific
circumstances and capacities of the defendant, which would go some way to redressing the law's inadequate
treatment of women who kill their abusive partners.
While many of the feminist judgments argue for different results, others reach the same conclusions but for
different reasons, highlighting details of women's lives and raising argument that the courts overlooked. In
some cases, they reveal different feminist views on a particular issue. Alison Diduck's judgment in Re G
(Children) (Residence: Same Sex Partner) is a case in point. Although she finds much to agree with in Baroness
Hale's leading opinion itself perhaps an example of a feminist judgment Diduck rejects Hale's attempt to
treat the former lesbian partners in the same way as a heterosexual couple. She argues that it obscures
specific difficulties faced by same-sex parents.
The feminist judgments reveal the extent to which cases could and should have been decided differently,
while remaining within the same legal and constitutional constraints that bind appellate judges. These are all

NIVEL AVANZADO
Junio 2011
decisions the courts could legitimately have reached. The important point is that cases such as these can only
be decided by the application of a set of values whether feminist or other.
As Baroness Hale writes in her foreword to the collection, reading the judgments ought to be a chastening
experience for any judge who believes himself or herself to be both true to their judicial oath and a neutral
observer of the world.
Moreover, the judgments help us see how the incorporation of viewpoints and perspectives from sections of
society which remain under-represented on the bench might improve the quality of judicial decision-making.
The book Feminist Judgments: From Theory to Practice (edited by Rosemary Hunter, Clare McGlynn and Erika
Rackley) is published by Hart Publishing.
