Newsom appoints 18 superior court judges
More than half the new judges are Asian, Black or Latino. Three are in their 60s, six are in their 50s and one is under 40. Thirteen are Democrats.
Gov. Gavin Newsom named 18 new superior court judges on Thursday. Most of the 10 women and eight men will sit in courts in Los Angeles County and in the Central Valley.
The group fits the pledge by Newsom and other recent governors to diversity the bench. More than half the new judges are Asian, Black or Latino. Three are in their 60s, six are in their 50s and one is under 40. Thirteen are Democrats.
