It has been said that diversity is like being invited to the party, but inclusion is being asked to dance. Panelists will discuss their perspectives on the intersection of race and gender, and what impact the 19th Amendment has had on women serving as judges on state and federal courts, their participation in leadership and policy, and what work remains to be done in the future. Panelists include the Honorable Karen L. Stevenson, Judge, United States District Court for the Central District of California; the Honorable Phyllis Frye, Associate Judge for the Municipal Courts in Houston, Texas; the Honorable Michelle Kim, Judge, Los Angeles Superior Court, and the Honorable Serena Murillo, Judge, Los Angeles Superior Court.
