REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

National Association of Women Judges
The Honorable Lisa Walsh
NAWJ President

Dear Members,

The holiday season is traditionally viewed as a time of renewal and rededication. We renew our sense of purpose and our commitments to ourselves and each other. We rededicate ourselves to our principles and to our craft. As judges, we rededicate ourselves to our profession, to being fair and open, to being prepared and focused, and to treating all who come before us with respect and patience. As colleagues, we renew our commitment to each other, to support our common interests, our goals, our NAWJ Mission and our fundamental purpose to ensure meaningful and equal access to all. We renew our roles as mentors and teachers to the generation that follows us. These are trying and difficult times, as we certainly see as judges and as lawyers, and it is especially fitting this year that we rededicate ourselves to the core purpose of our profession. As President, I rededicate myself to your service, to fulfilling the mission of NAWJ and to keeping her on an upward path toward securing the future for those she serves.

We are gearing up for our IAWJ Biennial Conference which will be held May 26-29, 2016 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. The Biennial is themed "Women and the Rule of Law, Assessing the Past, Anticipating the Future," and will address issues which affect the fate of women, children and the judicial systems around the world. We expect attendance of over 700 judges from around the world, including our own American judges serving at every level of court. We are grateful for the support of our Supreme Court Justices for this historic endeavor. As NAWJ realizes this position of international significance and prominence, it is critical that we have a large presence representing NAWJ and the United States. And that is where you come in. Early bird registration closes at the end of the year. Please register today. To register for the IAWJ Biennial at reduced rates, please click here. Please join us for what will surely be an historic, one of a kind, life-altering experience with our sisters from around the world.

With this Newsletter, I am happy to share the 2015-16 assignment of committee chairs and members. Thank you to all our NAWJ members who have generously volunteered their time and talents to serve the many important committees and programs of NAWJ. In making these assignments, I have taken into account diversity, geographic location, longevity on a committee, leadership skill, bringing in new members and fresh perspectives, and balance of committee size. For committee assignments to the IAWJ Biennial Conference, please contact the committee chairs directly. I also want to take the time to thank the committee members and leaders who served so ably under the leadership of our Past President, Judge Julie Frantz in the 2014-2015 year.

Along with Committee work, NAWJ Projects are moving at a fast clip. Led by Judges Brenda Murray (DC) and Betty Williams (NY), The Women in Prison Project continues to advocate against the disparate treatment of women offenders held in state and federal prisons, as well as work on programming to improve their treatment, reduce recidivism, and improve reunification of families. Just this week, the New York Times published this editorial detailing the inequitable treatment of women prisoners. The Women in Prison Project has put on two symposia addressing the needs of women prisoners in Mission Creek, Washington and Eagle River, Alaska, led by Justice Susan Owens (WA), Judge Marilyn Paja (WA), and Justice Dana Fabe (AK). For news coverage of the Eagle Run, Alaska Success Inside and Out Symposium, click here.

The Informed Voters Project has created multiple materials for the education of voters on the importance of an impartial judiciary. In recent news, IVP created materials for use in Constitution day programs and ABOTA published an article supporting the principles of IVP which may be viewed here. Most recently, Co-Chair of the Judicial Independence Committee, Justice Barbara Pariente (FL) and Annette Boyd Pitts created three videos (see below) for use in fair courts presentations.

Looking forward to a robust and exciting year, I strongly encourage you to think about ways to boost NAWJ programming in your jurisdiction, to consider creating new programs to better the mission of NAWJ, and to join with us in national attendance at our IAWJ Biennial Conference May 2016 and our 38th Annual Conference in Seattle, Washington October 5-9, 2016. At our national conferences, we fully experience the unparalleled collegiality of NAWJ. NAWJ is an equalizer that allows us to interact simply at colleagues, without barriers or formality, to work together to achieve ways to better our profession, to strengthen the judiciary, to diversify our bench and bar and to achieve a more just and fair society.

I rededicate myself to service to you, and look forward to an exciting new year in NAWJ.

Sincerely yours,

Lisa Walsh
President, NAWJ

Judge Neville has nominated NAWJ for the ABA's Judicial Division's Burnham "Hod" Greeley Award. The award was established to recognize individuals and organizations dedicated to promoting increased public awareness of the need for a fair and impartial judiciary. The Award is named in honor of the late Hawaii attorney Burnham "Hod" Greeley. He was a dedicated leader within the American Bar Association and was committed to promoting public trust and confidence in our justice system. Click here for more information on the Award.

The 10th annual presentation of the Award will take place during the Judicial Division Welcome Breakfast at the 2016 ABA Midyear Meeting in San Diego, CA.

Good Luck to NAWJ!
