The Scottish Feminist Judgments Project (SFJP) imagines how the outcomes of legal cases may have been different if the judge had adopted a feminist perspective.

Professor Vanessa Munro (Warwick), together with Professor Sharon Cowan and Dr Chloë Kennedy (Edinburgh) and artistic co-ordinator Jill Kennedy-McNeill, have brought together academics, legal practitioners, activists, and artists, to examine the choices and perspectives that inform judicial decision-making, and how they might be applied in more gender equitable ways. As part of the SFJP’s desire to make law both more accessible and engaging, its artistic strand includes poems, a short story, illustrations, photography, music, a theatre performance and textile art relating to specific judgements, or feminist judging.

At the exhibition, you'll be taken on a journey through the politics and impact of landmark legal cases. This will help uncover the importance of feminism in law making.
