Reply To: Are Chareidi women judges the wave of the future?

@Joseph
I was very specific about lack of frum Jewish judges in Connecticut courts,
I have decades of experience there, you have none.
Merely removing a yarmulke would not stop regular appearing attorneys from knowing a judge is MO.
In a typical Judicial District (Such as Fairfield with it’s Superior Court in Bridgeport) there might be 25-30 Judges, There bios, addresses etc are all available, Not only do I know them, I would know if they were members of the few frum shuls in the area. I can immediately rule out the Italian, Polish, Irish and African Americans. There are almost no Jewish judges…….as a number I now who have been asked if they want an appointment say? Why take such a big pay cut? In fact there is only one Jewish judge at the current time and she is a member of a Reform Synagogue.
I can identify less than 1 dozen Jewish Trial Court Judges in CT and 1/3 are Referees…retired judges who work per diem to ease backlogs.
Judges are nominated by the Governor, confirmed by the General Assembly and have an 8 year term
Probate Judges are part time local elected officials and it’s been 30 years since the Jewish Probate Judge retired in New Haven and he was of German-Jewish Reform background.
