Impact of the Feminist Judgment Writing Projects: The Case of the Women’s Court of Canada

Abstract: The first feminist judgment writing project, the Women's Court of Canada (WCC), published its initial set of judgments ten years ago in 2008. Although the WCC has led to feminist judgment projects in several other jurisdictions, research shows that the WCC judgments have not been cited very extensively by other academics, let alone by courts, tribunals or lawyers. This article explores whether this lack of citations is cause for concern, raises some possible explanations, and discusses strategies for giving feminist judgment projects broader and deeper impact. El primer proyecto feminista de redaccion de sentencias, el Tribunal de Mujeres de Canada (WCC son sus siglas en ingles), publico su primer conjunto de sentencias hace diez anos, en 2008. Aunque el WCC ha liderado proyectos de tribunales feministas en otras jurisdicciones, la investigacion demuestra que las sentencias del WCC no han sido frecuentemente citadas por otros academicos, mucho menos aun por tribunales y abogados. Este articulo analiza si esta ausencia de citaciones debiera preocuparnos, propone algunas posibles explicaciones y debate estrategias para dotar a los proyectos de sentencias feministas de un mayor y mas profundo impacto.
