Wow. The Governor has appointed another Republican Judge to the Los Angeles Superior Court. Congrats to UCLA Alum Tia Fisher. See the press release here. And even better she wasn’t a criminal defense attorney.
That makes the unofficial score 17 Dems and 10 Republicans plus a couple of decline to states. Does two in a row make a rally for GOP appointments to the LA bench by a Republican Governor time will tell. See my other post on judges here.
As a side note I received a call from a very high ranking GOP State Senator that told me that he was told by the Gov’s Judicial appointment people that there weren’t enough qualified GOP judge applicants for Los Angeles County.
I know this not to be true, because I know some that have tried the last couple years that are very qualified. That said. LA lawyer types should get going and send people up. Hope is alive!. They have a chance.
