A new podcast focusing on journeys of women lawyers in becoming judges is being offered by The Florida Bar’s Henry Latimer Center for Professionalism.

The first issue of “Never Contemplated” went online on September 16 and featured host Administrative Law Judge Hetal Desai interviewing First District Court of Appeal Judge Rachel Nordby about her experiences and observations.

The idea germinated from a casual discussion among members, including several judges, of the Bar’s Standing Committee on Professionalism, according to Professionalism Center Assistant Director Katie Young. Influencing the discussion were the committee’s Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee as well as a recent study that showed female justices on the U.S. Supreme Court were interrupted three times more often than their male colleagues.
