HAMPTON, Va. — Slowly but surely, the number of women judges in Virginia courtrooms is on the rise.
Nearly a third of Virginia jurists — or 32% — are female, up from 19% in 2008, according to the National Association for Women Judges.
Hampton General District Court is a case in point: All three judges — Corry N. Smith, Selena Stellute Glenn and Tonya Henderson-Stith — are women.
