How has the court of appeal determined that a trial judge rendered judgment on the basis of gender-based stereotypes?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Catchpole v. Brannon, 36 Cal.App.4th 237, 42 Cal.Rptr.2d 440 (Cal. App. 1995):

Based on these comments, the court of appeal found the trial judge had not only used language indicating gender bias, but also rendered judgment on the basis of gender-based stereotypes. (In re Marriage of Iverson, supra, 11 Cal.App.4th at p. 1500, 15 Cal.Rptr.2d 70.) The court concluded that the judge showed a "predetermined disposition" to rule against the wife based on her status as a woman. (Id. at p. 1501, 15 Cal.Rptr.2d 70, citing Webber v. Webber, supra, 33 Cal.2d at p. 158, 199 P.2d 934.) The judgment was reversed and the matter remanded for a new trial before a different judge. (Id. at p. 1503, 15 Cal.Rptr.2d 70.)
