    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.

If intellectual brilliance alone were sufficient to qualify someone to serve on the California Supreme Court, then Kruger might be found qualified. But there are other qualities that are essential to doing that job, and Kruger lacks all of them. Lack of Knowledge of California Law It has been reported that Kruger has never practiced law in California. As of this writing, she is an inactive member of the State Bar of California. Her practice of law has been mainly in the federal courts. Federal law is different from California state court law in numerous respects.

So Melissa, you want to start us off. Melissa Murray: So one of the big pieces of breaking news from last week is that the impeachment articles were transmitted from the house of representatives to the Senate on Monday, January 25th, ending speculation about whether Speaker Pelosi would send those articles over and in what timeline. So Schumer and McConnell at this moment are working through the details on the timing of a trial, but also they are organizing a resolution that will govern power sharing between the two parties in this 50, 50 evenly split Senate.

    September 18, 2020 Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye The Honorable Carol Corrigan The Honorable Goodwin Liu The Honorable Mariano-Florentino The Honorable Leondra Kruger The Honorable Joshua Groban Supreme Court of California 350 McAllister Street San Francisco, California 94107 Re: Support for Retroactive Application of California Bar Exam Passing Score Dear Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the California Supreme Court: I write today on behalf of the San Diego County Bar Association (SDCBA), our region’s largest law-related organization serving a membership of nearly 10,000 lawyers, law students, and others in the legal community, to respectfully urge retroactive application of the new California Bar Exam’s passing score to all applicants from July 2015 forward. 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.
