Answer to Question 1

Past discrimination in law schools has limited the pool of experienced minority attorneys who have the political ties, access to old boy networks, and career opportunities that lead to judgeships.
Efforts to diversify American judges by race, ethnicity, and gender have been met with resistance from those who argue that because judges must be impartial, it makes no difference whether a judge is black, Asian, Hispanic, or white.

Answer to Question 2

Before the Trial. A great deal of the work done by a judge takes place before the trial even starts, free from public scrutiny. These duties, some of which you have seen from
a different point of view in the section on law enforcement agents, include determining
the following:

whether there is sufficient probable cause to issue a search or arrest warrant whether there is sufficient probable cause to authorize electronic surveillance of a suspect
whether enough evidence exists to justify the temporary incarceration of a suspect
whether a defendant should be released on bail, and if so, the amount of the bail
whether to accept pretrial motions by prosecutors and defense attorneys whether to accept a plea bargain
