一些人认为，美国法官应该像裁判员一样行事，根据法律规定，中立的演员可以判罚球和罢工。虽然这是一个吸引人的想法，但它可能对法院的描述性代表产生一些令人不安的影响。我探讨了两个可能的问题：第一，描述性的代表性被抹去的法官谁适合的规范，第二，它是过分强调的法官谁不。法官作为裁判的理想可能导致传统身份等级的强化和描述性表征的污名化。我认为，另一种方法来判断，避免这些问题，并具有更普遍的司法描述性代表性的研究的影响。
ABSTRACT Some have argued that US judges should act like umpires, neutral actors who call balls and strikes according to the law. Though this is an appealing idea, it may have some troubling implications for descriptive representation on the courts. I explore two possible problems: first, that descriptive representation is erased for judges who fit the norm and, second, that it is over-emphasized for judges who do not. The judges-as-umpire ideal may lead to the reinforcement traditional identity hierarchies and the stigmatization of descriptive representation. I argue for an alternative approach to judging that avoids these problems and has implications for the study of descriptive representation in the judiciary more generally.
