Natalie Gomez-Velez‘s article in The Capital Law Review examines the state of judicial diversity, its importance, and obstacles to its improvement. She argues that diversity on the bench is crucial to justice, fairness, and the judiciary’s legitimacy and breaks new ground by relating implicit resistance to diversity to theories of “blind justice” and the judge’s role that are based on notions of impartiality expressed in philosopher John Rawls’s “view from nowhere.” The article acknowledges and critiques Rawls’s theories of justice and fairness, notes their limitations and misapplication in the practice of improving justice, and supports including persons representing diverse views and experiences as a key component of improving justice.
