Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Discuss the view that some scholars believe a diverse federal judiciary may reach decisions that more accurately reflect the views of our diverse population; however, research has not provided much support for the contention that female or minority judges decide cases differently than do white male judges, with the exception of discrimination suits.
2. Explain that even if there are no differences in outcomes, scholars argue that simply having a federal judiciary that reflects the citizenry is important to maintaining the courts' legitimacy; citizens place value in seeing someone like themselves on the federal judiciary.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Define interest group and give examples.
2. Discuss the basic process for selecting and nominating a federal judge.
3. Explain how interest groups can influence the selection process.
