Mission Statement
The public's trust and confidence in the justice system is enhanced when they see that the judges deciding their cases resembles the vast racial, ethnic, and cultural groups that make up American society. Likewise, a diverse judicial branch expands an individual judge's perspective in making decisions that impact a diverse population. The Standing Committee on Diversity in the Judiciary (SCDJ) provides a catalyst to promote equal participation of minorities in the profession through educational experiences, outreach opportunities and numerous publications.
