In this paper, I discuss the impact that women judges have made in property law outcomes in Kenya. The study shows that women judges were able to influence a feminist jurisprudence in matrimonial property and inheritance disputes peripherally even though they were not sitting in some of those cases – through trainings of other [male] judges and informal interactions with colleagues. I argue that there is need to focus lens on the collaborative and networking programmes of women judges to bring about institutional change as opposed to a focus on individual women judges. The findings suggest that studies that focus on individual [women] judges have far less potential to uncover the impact of collective efforts of women judges. Existing studies are based largely on Anglo-American positivist methodologies that are based on methodological individualism over collectivism. It is no wonder that the collective efforts of women judges under the auspices of the International Women Judges Association has received little to no scholarly attention.

女法官为何真正重要:女法官对肯尼亚财产法结果的影响

在本文中,我讨论了女法官对肯尼亚财产法结果的影响。研究表明,女法官们能够在婚姻财产和继承纠纷,影响一个女权主义法学,即使他们不是坐在其中的一些情况-通过其他[男]法官和同事非正式的交流的培训。我认为,有必要将重点放在女法官的合作和联网计划上,以实现体制变革,而不是将重点放在个别女法官身上。研究结果表明,侧重于[女性]法官的研究发现集体努力的影响的潜力要小得多。女法官。现有研究主要基于英美实证主义方法论,后者基于方法论上的个人主义而非集体主义。难怪在国际女法官协会的主持下,女法官的集体努力几乎没有受到学术上的关注。
