Over the last year, the twin #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have made waves in U.S. culture, but the effect on the justice system has been slower to take hold. Despite 60 women coming forward to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct, he was sentenced to jail after being found guilty in just one case. And 87 women have accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault, but he's only facing five charges stemming from two women.

But as the director of Columbia Law School's Center for Gender and Sexuality Law, Suzanne Goldberg, tells WNYC's Jami Floyd, it's still too soon to tell the long-term impacts that #MeToo and #TimesUp may have on the justice system writ large.

"There is unquestionably change happening," Goldberg said. "But...we do need to look at criminal prosecutions, we do need to look at what's happening in civil litigation. We also need to look at what's happening in state law, what employers are putting in place, what schools are putting in place and what has changed in the conversation."
