Dorothy Wright Nelson was a prominent federal judge on the level just below the U.S. Supreme Court for over 40 years. Although women had few opportunities in law when she graduated, she became one of the first female law professors and deans. The book offers an in-depth look at her life and her rise as a national expert in what is now the major field of alternative dispute resolution or conflict resolution. Featuring extensive interviews with judges, professors, and legal leaders, they offer first-hand accounts and multiple perspectives on how she was an extraordinary trailblazer in a traditional, male-dominated profession.

Women Judges in the Muslim World: A Comparative Study of Discourse and Practice fills a gap in academic scholarship by examining public debates and judicial practices surrounding the performance of women as judges in eight Muslim-majority countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco). Gender, class, and ethnic biases are inscribed in laws, particularly in the domain of shariʿa -derived family law. Editors Nadia Sonneveld and Monika Lindbekk have carefully woven together the extensive fieldwork and expertise of each author. The result is a rich tapestry that brings out the various effects of women judges in the management of justice. In contrast to early scholarship, they convincingly prove that ‘the woman judge’ does not exist. Contributors are: Monique C. Cardinal, Jessica Carlisle, Monika Lindbekk, Rubya Mehdi, Valentine M. Moghadam, Najibah Mohd Zin, Euis Nurlaelawati, Arskal Salim, Nadia Sonneveld, Ulrike Schultz and Maaike Voorhoeve.
