The Judge

In a land where women rarely ascend to the highest ranks of governance, Kholoud Al-Faqih became the first woman judge to be appointed to the Middle East''s Shari''a courts. The Judge offers a mesmerizing portrait of Kholoud - her brave journey as a lawyer, her tireless fight for justice for women, and the universal conflicts in the domestic life for women under Shari''a (or Islamic) law.
