Bar group urges more women for federal judgeships
The American Bar Association narrowly approved a measure urging the President to consider the underrepresentation of women among federal judges. ABA President Lawrence Walsh argued against the resolution, saying judges should be chosen on qualifications, not sex, while noting few women currently serve as federal judges and that the plan may aim to influence a Supreme Court nomination.
