California Courts recently posted a video reviewing Tani Cantil-Sakauye’s accomplishments as California’s chief justice. Among a number of others, former Justice Ming Chin and Justice Carol Corrigan talk about the Chief.
And if you’re looking for some extra nostalgia, here’s a brief 2011 video reporting on Cantil-Sakauye’s first day as chief justice. She is shown being sworn in by then Justice Joyce Kennard and then herself swearing in Governor Jerry Brown and California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
There is not a single black man on the California Supreme Court’s Civil, Criminal or Capitol staff. It has been this way for nearly the court’s entire existence! They have had a black man part time at some point ! They also have one African American woman during their history!
