The mission of the Judicial Endorsement Committee is to ensure that the judiciary reflects the diversity of the State of California, and that the Latino community is appropriately represented. The Committee works to accomplish this mission by: encouraging qualified Latino/as to seek appointments to the bench, evaluating the qualifications and judicial temperament of appointment candidates seeking the endorsement and support of MABA and promoting MABA's endorsees to the Governor and his representatives. The committee consists of the Co-Chairs, three additional trustees selected by the President, and the President.

MABA is also a founding member of the Los Angeles County Unity Bar (LACUB). If you wish to seek LACUB endorsement in addition to MABA's individual endorsement, you may indicate it on your application. 

Those seeking endorsements should send a copy of their endorsement application and their Personal Data Questionnaire (redacted to protect SSN and other sensitive personal data) and any other letters of support or endorsement to Brenda.Galvan.MABA@gmail.com, James.Blancarte.MABA@gmail.com, and President.maba.la@gmail.com. Any questions regarding endorsements should be directed to the JEC Co-Chairs, Brenda Galvan and James Blancarte, Jr.
