Yesterday, the Court hosted its first ever Women's History Month event, and it didn't disappoint. Judge Williams moderated a discussion with the panelists. A recurring theme was that the panelists grew up in families with strong women who encouraged them to pursue their dreams.
A nice moment was when the panelists were asked about female lawyers or judges who had inspired them. Judge Becerra said that, though she had aspired to be a judge when she was a young lawyer, it took her seeing someone with a background like hers reach the bench to believe her dream was attainable. That judge? Her fellow panelist, Chief Judge Altonaga.
Of all the panelists, former judge Rosemary Barkett seemed to have the most fun (and delivered some great laugh lines).
