Changing the face of Washington?s justice system
Seeing a wide range of lived experience and perspectives among the ranks of civic and government leaders has a powerful effect, particularly for communities of people who have historically been denied a seat at tables of power.
For Gov. Jay Inslee, who has sought to improve equity across Washington?s legal justice system, increasing diversity on court benches has been an ongoing effort. He has sought to appoint judges and justices at every level of the court system that ensure the state?s courts are more reflective of the people they serve. The governor?s appointments have also created a pipeline of highly-qualified judges who are being tapped for higher courts. President Biden, like President Obama before him, has?elevated some?of?the governor?s appointees?to the federal bench.
From district and county courts to the Washington Supreme Court, the personal stories of the judges the governor appointed are inspirational ? and a reminder of the importance of inclusion across all branches of government.
