On April 19, 2019, La Raza hosted its 2nd Annual Latinx Judicial Panel. This event was created with the intention of introducing our Raza members to Judges who are not only amazing but who look like them and share a similar background. We feel that highlighting and introducing our Raza members to amazing judges like Judge Vasquez, the first Latina appointed to Sacramento County Superior Court, Judge Cortes, the first Latina or Latino appointed to Yolo County Superior Court, & Judge Olguin first Latino appointed to the Federal District Court for the Central District of California will encourage our Raza to continue to dream, aim, and achieve at the highest levels. Imposter syndrome is a real threat to our community, but events like these, people like our panelists including Venable Partner Angel Garganta, help us defeat those feelings of unworthiness and uncertainty. A special and warm thank you to Judge Vasquez, Judge Cortes, Judge Olguin, Angel Garganta and Venable for generously sponsoring our event and spending their Friday afternoon with us. We hope that this tradition continues.
