I investigate whether the reaction of investors to the appointment announcement of a new outside director depends upon the director's experience in the appointing firm's industry. My sample contains 1'348 appointment announcements of 1'298 distinct directors to boards of 863 distinct S&P1500 firms from January 1, 2008 to June 1, 2012. I use univariate and multivariate regressions to analyse the effect of industry experience on the appointment announcement return. I find significantly lower announcement returns associated with the appointment of experienced directors versus non-experienced directors in the sample of S&P1500 firms. The relationship between director industry experience and the announcement return is negative and significant in a subsample of firms outside the S&P500 but not significant in a subsample of S&P500 firms. To mitigate endogeneity concerns I use fixed effects. I cannot rule out that unobservable firm variables or endogenous firm-director-matching are responsible for my results.

This book seeks to understand how women judges are situated as legal knowers on the High Court of Australia by asking whether a near-equal gender balance on the High Court has disrupted the Court’s historically masculinist gender regime. This book examines how the High Court’s gender regime operates once there is more than one woman on the bench. It explores the following questions: How have the Court’s gender relations accommodated the presence women on the bench? How have the women themselves accommodated those pre-existing gender relations? How might legal judgments and reasoning change as a result of changing gender dynamics on the bench? To develop answers to these (and other) questions the book pursues a methodology that conceptualises the High Court as an institution with a particular gender regime shaped historically by the dominant gender order of the wider society. The intersection between the (gendered) individuals and the (gendered) institution in which they operate produces and reproduces that institution’s gender regime. Hence, the enquiry is not so much asking ‘have women judges made a difference?’ but rather is asking how should we understand women judges’ relationship with the law, a relationship that is shaped as much by the individual judge as by the institutional context in which they operate. Scholars, legal practitioners and researchers interested in judicial reasoning, gender diversity and the legal profession, gender and politics will be interested in this book because it breaks new ground as a case study of a Court’s gender regime at a particular time.
