JUDICIAL EVALUATIONS COMMITTEE
Call for Judicial Candidates & Committee Volunteers
The Langston Bar Association’s Judicial Evaluations Committee supports the advancement of a highly qualified and representative judiciary by evaluating candidates seeking judicial appointment and providing recommendations to the Governor’s Office. Through a fair, thorough, and confidential process, the Committee assesses candidates’ qualifications, experience, integrity, temperament, and commitment to equal justice and the fair administration of the law.
SEEKING JUDICIAL CANDIDATES
Langston members and other candidates who have applied for judicial appointment and are interested in being interviewed and evaluated by the Committee are encouraged to contact Co-Chairs Bernie Brown and James Sargent. The Committee welcomes the opportunity to meet with candidates and provide Langston’s perspective and recommendation as part of the judicial appointments process.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Committee is actively seeking Langston members to participate in candidate interviews and the evaluation process. This is an important opportunity to contribute directly to Langston’s voice in the judicial selection process and help ensure that outstanding candidates receive thoughtful and meaningful consideration.
We need your participation. Members from all practice areas and levels of experience are encouraged to volunteer. A broad cross-section of perspectives strengthens the Committee’s work and the quality of its evaluations.
Interested in being evaluated or volunteering?
Please contact Bernie Brown (bernicerambodog@yahoo.com) or James Sargent (jsargent@glaserweil.com), Co-Chairs, Judicial Evaluations Committee.

The Academic Outreach Resource Center is committed to ensuring access, expanding opportunities, and encouraging excellence in legal education. The center encourages students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to apply to and attend law school. We believe in the transformative power of lawyers to affect positive social change and understand that a country as inclusive as ours should be led by advocates of all backgrounds. We leverage the resources of a major research university to strengthen the student preparation pipeline of those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and educationally underserved in higher education. This includes the nationally renowned Law Fellows Program, which invests in bright scholars to ensure that they can become tomorrow’s legal changemakers and to empower the next generation of lawyers, judges, and activists in creating a fairer justice system.

Law Fellows Program
In 1997, the Law Academic Outreach Resource Center launched the Law Fellows Program. The program is designed to encourage and prepare high-potential undergraduate and graduated students for a career in law, increase the pipeline of lower socioeconomic students interested in law, and demystify the law school experience.
The program format is made up of several components, and includes a series of Saturday Academies held at the law school. These academies offer professional-level instruction by UCLA Law faculty in which Law Fellows are exposed to cases and a variety of other materials taught in law school. In addition to the academic enrichment component, all Fellows are assigned law student mentors with whom they will interact throughout the year. Informative seminars and panel discussions, designed to demystify the law school experience, are led by staff, alumni and other members of the legal community. Finally, participants complete a J.D. Action Plan and meet with the directors of the program regularly, often over the course of several years, until they matriculate to law school and beyond, receiving continuous academic support, mentoring, counseling and career guidance.
