The 'Judge Barbie' doll was part of Mattel's 'Career of the Year' line and was designed to encourage girls to learn about making decisions to improve the world. The career doll was chosen to 'inspire girls to explore judicial careers with the hopes that one day they will sit on the bench and make important decisions that can change the world for the better,' after Mattel learned that only 33 percent of sitting U.S. state judges are female. Judge Barbie comes in a variety of skin tones and hairstyles, and wears a black robe and a lacy collar similar to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's.
