Episode Details

Fifteen seats on the Los Angeles County Superior Court are up for grabs, with only eleven contested races. Four spots are uncontested, while three incumbents face challengers. The races feature prosecutors, public defenders, private attorneys, and even a former child actor. Two heated contests involve judges pushing back on claims of unfitness and defending controversial comments. Voters and bar associations are weighing in, with ratings ranging from exceptionally well qualified to not qualified. Candidates emphasize fairness, reducing delays, improving access for non-English speakers, and addressing backlogs. Recent probes have highlighted issues like overturned rulings and past admonishments, fueling challengers fire. The races will shape who handles cases from murders to family disputes, so mark your calendar for June second.
