Judicial Candidates

For judicial candidates, cross off anyone who is a Deputy District Attorney or Prosecutor. Of the remaining candidates, vote for the woman of color, woman, or person of color. Each candidate for judge is also rated by the state bar association or the local bar association. You can google the candidate and “bar association” to see who is “well-qualified.” For example, here is the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s judicial evaluations. Scroll down to page 9 for the specific ratings.
