Episode Details

Denise Hippach, the first African-American judge in Santa Barbara County, has officially taken the bench as an associate justice on the 2nd District Court of Appeal — a major career leap after her four-year tenure on the Superior Court. Nominated by Governor Newsom and confirmed by the Judicial Appointments Commission, she brings decades of legal experience from county counsel to prosecutor to judge. Her colleagues rallied behind her, and her prior temporary assignment at the appellate court gave her a leg up. Now, as she ascends to the appellate level, the vacancy she leaves behind in Santa Barbara will soon be filled — and we’re watching closely to see who steps into her shoes.
