As Editor of The Jury Expert, I pay attention to not only gender, but age, ethnicity and academic background in the selection of authors and what we call 'respondents' in our publication. The goal is to have a diverse voice (which reflects the diverse jury pool) and to offer practical ideas that improve litigation advocacy. So I read this post and I thought "I wonder if my intent is actually reflected in my numbers?" and so I went back and counted up the articles we've published in the past 7 issues of The Jury Expert. I counted any female author or co-author as a woman author and then added up the total number of pieces. We have published 51 articles and had 25 women authors for a 49% rate of women authors. I did not include my trial consultant respondents to articles because I did not want to unfairly skew the numbers. And I'm relieved! We are actually walking the walk and not just talking the talk. We would welcome submissions to our trial skills journal from Feminist Law Profs. Where are the women? They are in The Jury Expert! http://www.astcweb.org/public/publication/ I’ve been listening although I edit a non-traditional digital journal.
