Justice Sonia Sotomayor told an audience that recent changes in the format of oral arguments were instituted in part after studies emerged showing that female justices on the court were interrupted more by male justices and advocates.
Sotomayor said the studies, including one by researchers Tonja Jacoby and Dylan Schweers in 2017, have had an"enormous impact" and led to Chief Justice John Roberts being"much more sensitive" to ensuring that people were not interrupted or at least that he would play referee if needed.She also said that it is a dynamic that exists not only on the court but in society as well.
He inquired whether that approach will become"increasingly untenable" as the country's demographic makeup continues to depart substantially from the make up of the framers.Sotomayor agreed that a number of her colleagues adhere to the philosophy and she said,"whether and how that will lead to dissonance between what we are deciding and what the general population accepts as what the law should be -- is a fascinating question.
