Summary
Summary
The Pathways to Achieving Judicial Diversity in the California Courts toolkit (Judicial Diversity Toolkit) is a compilation of model mentorship programs, seminars, and outreach resources designed to increase the diversity of applicants for judicial appointment in California. Conceived as a result of the 2006 Summit on Judicial Diversity, the Judicial Diversity Toolkit was first published in 2010 by the Judicial Council in consultation with the Access and Fairness Advisory Committee--now the Advisory Committee on Providing Access and Fairness (PAF). In January 2019, in partnership with the State Bar’s Council on Access and Fairness, PAF formed the Judicial Diversity Toolkit Working Group to redesign a “digital-first” version of the toolkit as an online resource, with a goal of making its content and resources more user-friendly for judicial officers and courts to adopt in outreach efforts to diverse communities statewide.
