Judicial & Other Appointments

The Judicial and Other Appointments Committee completes evaluations of candidates who request a review of their judicial fitness. It has been a busy year for this Committee! The WLS Board evaluated the following candidates:
 

• Judge Shama Hakim Mesiwala for the Third District Court of Appeal
• Judge Lauri Damrell for the United States District Court, Eastern District and the Third District Court of Appeal
• Clara Levers for the Superior Courts of Sacramento and Yolo Counties
• Kelly Babineau for the Superior Courts of Sacramento and Nevada Counties
• Commissioner Myrlys Stockdale Coleman for the Superior Court of Sacramento County

 
WLS consider the candidate’s professional and personal lives, achievements, involvement in women’s and minority issues, and a survey to make a recommendation. WLS ranked each of the candidates as exceptionally well qualified and submitted letters of support.
