Comment

It is an honor to be nominated for election to the Judicial Council. If you elect me, I will work diligently to serve the interests of the courts, litigants and fellow members of the Bar. As a private practitioner, I have been active in the "grassroots" efforts of the State Bar to monitor the legislative process. With this activity, I have gained skills and information which would be useful to me as a member of the Judicial Council.
