WIL & Chicago-Kent Library
WIL Movie Night: The Judge
On Tuesday, March 3 at 5:30pm in Morris Hall on the 10th floor for a free screening of The Judge, a documentary that provides rare insights into both Islamic law and gendered justice.
Film synopsis: "Religious courts in the Middle East had historically banned women from adjudicating domestic and family matters – in both the Shari’a courts of Islam and the Rabbinic courts of Judaism – until Kholoud Al-Faqih, dares to challenge that history. With the support of a progressive Sheik, Kholoud becomes the first woman judge with her appointment to a Palestinian Shari’a court in the West Bank, bringing a subtle new perspective garnered from her early about professional life working with battered women as an attorney in both the criminal and Shari’a courts."
This event is part of Chicago-Kent College of Law’s annual Diversity Week and is sponsored by the Chicago-Kent Society of Women in Law and the Chicago-Kent Law Library.
