- Description
- In this book, a group of feminist legal scholars put theory into practice by writing the 'missing' feminist judgments in key cases. The cases chosen are significant decisions in English law across a broad range of substantive areas. Each case is accompanied by a commentary which renders the judgment accessible to a non-specialist audience. The commentary explains the original decision, its background and doctrinal significance, the issues it raises, and how the feminist judgment deals with them differently. The book also includes chapters examining the theoretical and conceptual issues raised by the process and practice of feminist judging, and by the judgments themselves, including the possibility of divergent feminist approaches to legal decision-making.

- Description
- This article examines the phenomenon of women barristers' denials of the existence of discrimination against women at the Bar, against a backdrop of widespread evidence of sex discrimination and gender bias in this branch of the legal profession. Using interview transcripts from a research study of the status of women at one of the independent Bars in Australia, the article analyses the various stories told by senior women barristers to the interviewers about their gender and experiences at the Bar. It argues that structural and psychological explanations of denials of discrimination are inadequate to account for the range and public nature of the stories told by these women. Rather, the evidence suggests that the women's interview responses were part of the active constitution of themselves as (non/gendered) subjects of the Bar.

- Description
- This article explores the gender effects of the rules of evidence and the conduct of adversarial court proceedings. It focuses upon the evidentiary regulation of 'private' relations - private in the sense of events that usually occur without witnesses, often in a domestic setting, and often between intimates. This element of privacy is an important factor in understanding why the rules of evidence have difficulty dealing with cases involving sexual behavior or violence against women.

- Description
- Contains: a paper -based on a lecture- by Charlesworth examining the way that women's relationship to peace is constructed in international institutions and international law, and two commentaries on Charlesworth's text. Kouvo and Levine argue that wars and peace processes are inherently gendered affairs and as a consequence a focus on equality as a basis for women's participation in peace processes remains challenging. Lockett describes strategies used by women's organisations internationally to ensure their participation, voice and rights and argues that both a human rights approach and a gender analysis are required in approaching peace-building.
