Her Honor
This rabbit recognizes the career of Judge LaDoris Cordell, the first African American woman to serve on the Superior Court of Northern California. She recently published a “primoir” (part primer, part memoir) about her experiences as a judge. She also shares her perspective on the strengths, and weaknesses, of our judicial system, and what can be done to further strengthen it.
The comics shown on the rabbit were taken from Judge Cordell’s own doodles, and they illustrate different legal terms in a playful and humorous fashion.
The feminine judicial collar evokes the legacy of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, another leading female justice.
