I am a research assistant for Professors Miki Kittilson and Valerie Hoekstra at Arizona State University. We are working on a research project looking at the advancement of women in the judicial branch across a number of countries from 1970 to 2010, in particular since the first women served. I have tried to find information about the (retired) judges of the Supreme Court including their names, dates of appointment and end of appointment, but have so far been unsuccessful. We were hoping that you would have this information or know where we could find it. We appreciate any assistance you are able to provide. If you have any questions, you may contact me or Professors Kittilson ([email protected]) or Hoekstra ([email protected]). Sincerely, Jennifer Kartner, Research Assistant
