Answer to Question 1

The traditional American judge was and continues to be a white Protestant male from an upper-middle class background with an above average education. Furthermore, judges are likely to have been involved in politics and to represent the political ideology of their constituents or appointers. However, since the Carter administration, a growing number of women and minorities have become judges. Studies are mixed on whether female judges are more liberal than male judges. Black judges are more likely to be found in states that use an appointment method rather than an election method.

True
