Activities
Judicial Appointments Committee
CAPAJA has a process through which an applicant seeking appointment by the Governor to the position of Judge of a Superior Court may request CAPAJA’s organizational support of their candidacy. The CAPAJA Judicial Appointments Committee, led by its Northern and Southern California Co-Chairs, is tasked with receiving endorsement requests from applicants, conducting a confidential vetting of each applicant, and making a recommendation to the CAPAJA Executive Board regarding whether CAPAJA should proceed with an endorsement.
