THE LEGAL BRIEF
VOLUME 41, ISSUE 5
(Continued from page 5) View from the Bench by Chief Judge Rebecca Glasgow
• Improving access to the courts by expanding remote access, adopting more flexible hours, increasing access to legal help, reducing communication barriers, and ensuring that courts treat all court users in a trauma - responsive manner. • Addressing the increase in conviction rates and incarceration length for women, especially Black, Indigenous, and other women of color, and remedying the consequences that the increased incarceration of Black, Indigenous, and other men of color has had on women and other family members.
• Reducing reliance on revenue from court users to fund the courts.
• Identifying the best evidence - based curricula for judicial and legal education on gender and race bias.
In sum, there is much work to be done to achieve the promise of a justice system that provides fair and equal treatment to everyone who appears in Washington courts. If you are interested in helping with implementing the study recommendations, please reach out to me at J_R.Glasgow@courts.wa.gov. We would be delighted to have you join the Gender and Justice Commission ’ s efforts.
