Virginia Coalition for Racial Diversity in the Justice System

(Feb 29, 2016) Virginia is one of only a few states where legislators select judges. Across the Commonwealth there is a startling lack of diversity in judges. Those who sit on the bench do not represent the make-up of the communities where they preside. Joining Catherine Read to talk about the selection of judges in Virginia are Justin Fairfax of the Virginia Coalition for Racial Diversity in the Justice System, Ann N. Luu of the Asian Pacific American Bar Association, and Karen Turner McWilliams, Past President of the Association of Black Women Attorneys.
