I have discovered several hacked posts on my blog, and there are doubtless many more. I am in the process of reviewing posts and taking out material inserted by the hacker(s).

In the meantime, posts should be read with caution. If you see odd links to other law firms, products, or services, or any other indication that you are reading a hacked post, I would appreciate it very much if you would send me the link to the suspected hacked post.

Four added to pool of prospective First District Justices

November 1, 2013

The Recorder reports on three judges Governor Brown has asked to have evaluated for vacancies on the First District Court of Appeal.

Brown has asked the State Bar’s Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation to vet San Francisco Superior Court Judge Marla Miller, Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Diana Becton and ACLU staff attorney Linda Lye for openings on the San Francisco-based appellate court.

Therese Stewart of the San Francisco city attorney’s office is also being evaluated by the commission.

Of course, everything will remain up in the air for a while.

Submission of a name to the commission usually indicates serious interest on the governor’s part, though there are now only two vacancies on the First District, and other prominent judges and attorneys are said to have expressed interest.

See the article for some background on these candidates.
