PRESENTATION OPPORTUNITY TO COLORADO STATE COURT JUDGES

The DCJA/CCJA and Bar Leaders Webinar on Diversity and Justice Planning Committee provides occasional presentations to the District and County Court judges across the state. They started due to the George Floyd protests, and the idea is to present DEI issues to the judges and provide diversity bars their time with the judges. People get to say what they want to judges (even if that’s not what they want to hear) and judges are given an opportunity to speak their mind without fear of being recorded.  

The committee is open to topics and asked APABA's membership to raise issues that they feel are important. We can convey these messages to the committee, or even provide a platform for our members to present to the judges. If there are any issues that you would wish to raise with Colorado's district and county court judges, please reach out to us at apabacolorado@gmail.com.
