Fil-Am Attorney Tani Cantil-sakauye
Governor Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement applauding the unanimous confirmation by the Commission on Judicial Appointments of his nominee for the position of Chief Justice of California, Justice Tani CantilÂ-Sakauye:
“Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye is immensely qualified to be the next Chief Justice of California and I applaud the Commission on Judicial Appointments for its unanimous confirmation vote. She is an experienced jurist, who has the respect of her peers in the court, and she possesses administrative and legal skills that make her uniquely qualified to lead California’s judicial branch. Justice Cantil-Sakauye understands that the role of a Justice is to administer the law, not to create law, and for that reason I am absolutely convinced she will be a fair and prudent Chief Justice of California.â€
The Commission on Judicial Appointments is composed of Chief Justice of California Ron George, Attorney General Jerry Brown and Presiding Justice Joan Dempsey Klein of the Second District Court of Appeal.
Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye was nominated by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to be the next Chief Justice of California on July 21, 2010 and she was rated as “exceptionally well qualified†by the State Bar’s Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation on August 23, 2010.
Justice Cantil Sakaueye’s name will now be placed on the ballot where she will stand for election on November 2, 2010. If the majority of voters approve, then Justice Cantil-Sakauye will begin serving as Chief Justice of California on January 3, 2011.
