Abstract
Les auteures reprennent la célèbre question de Madame la juge Bertha Wilson « Est-ce que les femmes juges feront une différence? » afin de présenter quelques pistes de réflexion au sujet de la répartition des opinions judiciaires des femmes qui siègent à la Cour suprême depuis les vingt dernières années. Premièrement, elles analysent des statistiques afin de démontrer que celles qui portent le titre de juge ont occupé une position unique au sein de la plus haute instance judiciaire du Canada en écrivant une très large proportion des opinions dissidentes. En second lieu, elles posent une série de questions afin de guider une étude plus approfondie permettant d'indiquer plus précisément la nature véritable de la « différence » des femmes juges et, potentiellement, d'autres groupes sociaux historiquement sous-représentés au sein du corps judiciaire canadien. The authors ask the notorious question posed by Justice Bertha Wilson "will women judges make a difference?" to present some reflections about the judicial voting patterns of the women who sat at the Supreme Court of Canada in the last twenty years. First, they analyze the statistics to demonstrate that women judges have occupied a unique position within the highest judicial institution of Canada by writing a very large proportion of dissenting opinions. Second, they ask a number of questions to guide a deeper study about the true nature of the "difference" that women judges make and, potentially, of members of groups historically underrepresented among the Canadian judiciary.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
