“Diversi ty Lackin g on the Bench ?”

January 25, 2016

-Justin E. Fairfax, Esq., Counsel at Venable LLP,

Former Federal Prosecutor

“Essentially, it’s reached a point where the makeup of the

judiciary in Northern Virginia is not reflective of the

community it serves.”

“[T]he issue extends to prosecutors and

public defenders.” Lawyers with commonwealth’s attorney’s

offices and public defenders ‘all too

often lack much if any racial diversity.’”

“Diversi ty Lack ing on the Bench ?”

January 25, 2016

“I would venture to say the bench does not representthe actual community.”

“[W]omen are fairly represented on the Fairfax

bench, but [Kay] acknowledged a lapse in minority judges.”

legi t imacy o f our system o f just ice in the eyes of anincreasingly diverse public."

JUDICIARY MATTERS“Judges are not the exclusive province of any

one section of society. Rather they must provide

jus t ice fo r all .”

“In order for a judicia l select ion to be cons idered

fair and impart ial , i t must be seen as

representative of the community .”

“It is imp ortant for a select ion sy stem insofar as it

is possible, to advance methods that provide for a

jud ic ial bench that ref lec ts the d ivers ity o f its

qual i f ied app l icants .”

Professor Jeffrey D.

JUDICIARY MATTERSSupreme Court Justices also believe that

diversity on the bench improves judicial decision

making.

For example, Justice Powell noted that “a

member of a previously excluded group can

bring insights to the Court that the rest of its

members lack.”

Kevin R. Johnson & Luis Fuentes-Rohwer, A Principled Approach to the Quest

for Racial Diversity on the Judiciary , 10 Michigan J. Of Race & L. 2, 23 (2004)

(quoting J. Powell).

Minority Applications

“Chilling Effect”

While many minorities have applied for judgeships, consistent rejection of minority

applicants over the past 30 years has had a

“chilling effect” and likely has discouraged

more minorities from submitting applications.

HOW DO LEGISLATORS SOLVE

THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM?

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Prioritize Diversity as Part of the Judicial Selection Process

2. Broaden Pool of Applicants Interviewed by Legislators

3. More Heavily Weigh and Carefully Consider Evaluations and

Recommendations of Diverse Bar Associations

4. Increase Transparency in the Judicial Selection Process
