鉴于被任命为法官的妇女不可避免地具有多样性，而且往往是保守主义者，对女法官将产生的“不同”的许多期望和愿望被证明是不现实的。另一方面，我们可以合理地期望女权主义法官“有所作为”。这篇文章的重点是女权主义法官，并试图确定它是什么，我们可以合理地期望他们。这反过来又需要考虑谁是女权主义法官，女权主义的审判方法可能包括什么，以及司法角色中固有的制度规范可能会限制女权主义方法的采用。本文的结论是，女性主义法官可以而且应该在广泛的司法活动中发挥作用。
Many of the expectations and aspirations about the ‘difference’ that women judges would make have proved unrealistic, given the inevitable diversity and often conservatism of women appointed as judges. On the other hand, we might reasonably expect feminist judges to ‘make a difference’. This essay focuses on feminist judges, and seeks to identify what it is that we might reasonably expect of them. This in turn requires consideration of who counts as a feminist judge, what might be included in a feminist approach to judging, and what institutional norms inherent within the judicial role might constrain the adoption of a feminist approach. The essay concludes that feminist judges both can and ought to make a difference across a wide range of judicial activities.
