  • “Firsts” on the Bench NAPABA National Convention 2016
    Pearls of Wisdom from APA “Firsts” on the Bench NAPABA National Convention 2016 The number of Asian Pacific Americans (APA) serving as judges in the United States is disproportionate to the number of APAs in both the general population and the number of lawyers nationwide. For example, as recently as 10 years ago, only 6 out of the 877 active federal judges were APAs, constituting .8% of the federal judiciary. At that time, APAs constituted 2.3% of the nation’s over 870,000 lawyers. More recently, as of early 2016, there were 25 APA federal judges, including four at the Court of Appeals level. This constitutes 2.8% of the federal judiciary, but APAs now constitute approximately 4% of the nation’s estimated 1.1 million lawyers. With respect to the general population, U.S. census data reflects that APAs constituted 4.2% of the population in 2000 and 5.6% of the population in 2010. The rise in the numbers of APA judges is recent. Indeed, for more than 170 years after the founding of the federal judiciary (1789-1961), there were no APA judges in its ranks. Not until 1961 did President John F. Kennedy nominate the first APA judge (Hon. Cyrus Niles Tavares) to a federal court of jurisdiction, namely, the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii. It was another 35 years before an APA female was appointed to the federal bench, when President William J. Clinton appointed the Hon. Susan Oki Mollway to the U.S. District Court in Hawaii in 1998.

  • Unfinished Oral History of District Judge James Benton Parsons
    THE UNFINISHED ORAL HISTORY OF DISTRICT JUDGE JAMES BENTON PARSONS May 1996 THE UNFINISHED ORAL HISTORY OF DISTRICT JUDGE JAMES BENTON PARSONS Forward The oral history of District Judge James Parsons was never finished. Judge Parsons died before the recordings were finished or the transcript reviewed by him. Anyone who knew Judge Parsons would wonder if his history could ever be finished in his lifetime. He was a superb raconteur who never ran out of new ideas which were firmly anchored in what is good in the past. Due to problems with the tape recordings, some parts of the tapes were extremely difficult and even impossible to transcribe. This project could not have been finished without the extremely hard work of Kathy Engel and Charlene Purcell of the United States Court of Appeals who spent hundreds of hours listening to the tapes to hear Judge Parsons's words and transcribing them. Circuit Librarian Janet Wishinsky also dedicated hundreds of hours to reviewing the transcripts while listening to the tapes, making corrections, and adding bracketed background material that will greatly aid the reader. If you the reader can supply any additional information or make corrections, please send them to me. Collins T.
