Women of the Courts Symposium: Building a Justice System Committed to Fairness and Equality for Women: A Personal Account of New

On April 22, 1986, New York State's court system and everyone in New York concerned about justice for women reached a significant milestone. That was the day the New York Task Force on Women in the Courts issued its meticulously documented report and, with it, a call to arms. ... I have been asked to describe how the New York Task Force on Women in the Courts came into being and what its influence has been - and continues to be - on New York courts and law, but I have also been invited to make this a personal essay so I have included a brief description of my own background for a fuller understanding of my role in the Task Force's genesis and development.
