    Daily Journal . Daily Journal . Daily Journal . The Recorder Joshua Groban, Brown's Fourth Nominee, Confirmed to California's High Court Governor Jerry Brown’s fourth and final nominee for the California Supreme Court, Joshua Groban, has been confirmed by the state’s judicial appointments commission. The commission—Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Attorney General Xavier Becerra and First District Court of Appeal Justice Anthony Kline—voted unanimously to confirm Groban early Friday afternoon. Groban plans to take his oath of office from the governor Jan. 3, in time to be seated for the court’s January calendar. Groban has worked for Brown since 2010 when he started as chief legal adviser to the governor’s campaign. Within the Brown administration, Groban has had a lead role in recruiting and vetting about 600 trial court and appellate court nominees. At the confirmation hearing that preceded the commission’s vote, witnesses highlighted Groban’s efforts at recruiting and nominating judges to reflect the state’s diverse population. First District Court of Appeal Associate Justice Therese Stewart, who was appointed to the bench during Brown’s tenure, said Groban “proactively reached out” to bar groups representing women, Asian-Americans, African-Americans and LGBTQ lawyers. “He was not content to just review applications of the people who applied to the bench in the hopes that there would be an adequately diverse body of candidates,” Stewart said. “He took the mystery for them out of that black box” of the judicial nomination process.Groban will join three other Brown appointees he helped bring to the bench—Associate Justices Goodwin Liu, Mariano-Florentino Cuellar and Leondra Kruger—meaning Brown’s appointees will constitute a majority of the seven-justice bench.

  • Supreme Court of California Statement on Equality and Inclusion June 11, 2020
    Supreme Court of California Statement on Equality and Inclusion June 11, 2020 The Supreme Court of the State of California "In view of recent events in our communities and through the nation, we are at an inflection point in our history. It is all too clear that the legacy of past injustices inflicted on African Americans persists powerfully and tragically to this day. Each of us has a duty to recognize there is much unfinished and essential work that must be done to make equality and inclusion an everyday reality for all. We must, as a society, honestly recognize our unacceptable failings and continue to build on our shared strengths. We must acknowledge that, in addition to overt bigotry, inattention and complacency have allowed tacit toleration of the intolerable. These are burdens particularly borne by African Americans as well as Indigenous Peoples singled out for disparate treatment in the United States Constitution when it was ratified. We have an opportunity, in this moment, to overcome division, accept responsibility for our troubled past, and forge a unified future for all who share devotion to this country and its ideals. We state clearly and without equivocation that we condemn racism in all its forms: conscious, unconscious, institutional, structural, historic, and continuing. We say this as persons who believe all members of humanity deserve equal respect and dignity; as citizens committed to building a more perfect Union; and as leaders of an institution whose fundamental mission is to ensure equal justice under the law for every single person. In our profession and in our daily lives, we must confront the injustices that have led millions to call for a justice system that works fairly for everyone.

  • Commission on Judicial Appointments to Consider Appointment of Mr
    Met News Brown Elevates Two to First District Court of Appeal Gov. Jerry Brown announced Wednesday his elevation of Alameda Superior Court Judge Ioana Petrou and San Francisco Superior Court Judge Tracie L. Brown to the First District Court of Appeal. Both are Democrats. Petrou, if confirmed, will take a seat in Div. Three, replacing Justice Stewart R. Pollak who was appointed as presiding justice of the First District’s Div. Four. Petrou has been a judge since 2010. She was an assistant U.S. attorney in the Northern District of California from 2004 to the time of her first judicial appointment, before which she worked both in private practice and as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York. Her law degree is from Berkeley. Brown, who has held her current position since 2013, is slated to take a seat on Div. Four, replacing Justice Timothy A. Reardon after his retirement. Prior to taking the bench she was an assistant U.S. attorney, also in the Northern District of California, beginning in 2002. Before that, Brown was in private practice for five years. Her J.D. is from Berkeley. Both appointments are subject to confirmation from the Commission on Judicial Appointments, made up of Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil- Sakauye, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, and the district’s senior presiding justice, J. Anthony Kline. Pollak is currently awaiting confirmation to his presiding justice position by the same commission. That panel will act on the appointment of gubernatorial advisor Joshua P. Groban to the Supreme Court on Dec.

As you know, on August 18, 2020, Assemblymember Mark Stone introduced House Resolution 103, which requests that this Court reconsider its decision to not retroactively apply the lowered bar exam passing score of 1390 to test-takers from July 2015 forward. HR- 103 passed the full Assembly on September 1, 2020. We urge this Court to re-examine the issue of retroactivity. Inclusion is among the SDCBA’s core values, and as such, we strongly believe that prior applicants should be included in the application of the 1390 passing score. It is well documented that the bar exam disproportionately impacts Black, Latino, and Asian applicants in a negative way. In February 2020, for example, more than half of white applicants taking the exam for the first time passed, compared to 28% of Asian applicants, 25% of Latino applicants, and 18% of Black applicants.1 A mere five percent of Black first- time test-takers graduating from California ABA-accredited law schools passed.2 1 http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/documents/FEB2020-CBX-Statistics.pdf.

    Daily Journal . The Recorder California Supreme Court Justices Condemn Racism ‘In All Its Forms’ All seven of the court’s justices signed the statement promising to confront racism in their personal and professional lives. The proclamation from the court follows a separate statement from Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye on Monday. L-R: Supreme Court of California Justices, Leondra Kruger, Ming Chin, Goodwin Liu, Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, Carol Corrigan and Joshua Groban. California’s high court has vowed to not rest until equality for all is a “living truth.” The California Supreme Court issued a statement signed Wednesday by all seven justices condemning racism. The proclamation from the court follows a separate statement from Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye on Monday. The justices said that the United States is at an “inflection point” in history and called upon society to own up to these unacceptable failings and build on shared strength. “We state clearly and without equivocation that we condemn racism in all its forms: conscious, unconscious, institutional, structural, historic, and continuing,” they wrote. “We say this as persons who believe all members of humanity deserve equal respect and dignity; as citizens committed to building a more perfect Union; and as leaders of an institution whose fundamental mission is to ensure equal justice under the law for every single person.” . The Recorder California Justices Uphold Ouster of Contra Costa County Judge "We are extremely disappointed with the court’s decision to not accept Judge Laettner’s petition for review," an attorney for John T.
