Want to be a Judge? Learn About the LASC Judicial Mentor Program

The purpose of this program is to assist in the recuritment and development of a qualified, inclusive and diverse judicial applicant pool. The program was desgned by LASC judges in collaboration with the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom to identify, encourage and provide mentors for individuals considering a judicial career.
The program consists of two components: a Judicial Mentor Committee and Community Outreach-Recruitment Committee.

The Presiding Judge has appointed a formal panel of mentor judges who will be available to those seeking guidance in applying to the bench.  The role of the mentor judges is not to select or recommend canidates, but rather to demystify the application and vetting process.   Participation in the mentor program is not a prerequisite to or a guarantee of appointment.
