'Is it possible to be both a judge and a feminist?' Feminist
Judgments: Rewritten Criminal Law Opinions answers that question in
the affirmative by re-writing seminal opinions that implicate critical
dimensions of criminal law jurisprudence, from the sexual assault law
to provocation to cultural defences to the death penalty. Right now,
one in three Americans has a criminal record, mass incarceration and
over-criminalization are the norm, and our jails cycle through about
ten million people each year. At the same time, sexual assaults are
rarely prosecuted at all, domestic violence remains pervasive, and the
distribution of punishment, and by extension justice, seems not only
raced and classed, but also gendered. We have had #MeToo campaigns and
#SayHerName campaigns, and yet not enough has changed. How might all
of justice look different through a feminist lens. This book answers
that question.
