Please welcome the Honorable Tammy Chung Ryu on October 27, 2007, at 4:30PM (Location TBA) .
Judge Ryu is the first Korean-American woman to be appointed a judge in the history of the State of California. Governor Gray Davis appointed Judge Ryu to the Los Angeles Superior Court in August 2002. Judge Ryu was the President of the Korean American Bar Association of Southern California in 1994. She has been a frequent speaker on issues of importance to the Korean and Asian American communities at various conferences, including the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, and the International Association of Korean Lawyers.
Following Judge Ryu's remarks, Korean food will be served for an early dinner. Please RSVP to KABA.SD@gmail.com by October 19, 2007.

III. KABA-SD Endorses SDCBA Board Candidate – Marvin Mizell
The KABA-SD Board has voted to endorse Marvin Mizell for the San Diego County Bar Association (SDCBA) Board of Directors. Marvin attended KABA-SD's inaugural meeting on August 29, 2007. Marvin is a Deputy Attorney General in the Criminal Division, is the Chair of the Ethnic Relations and Diversity Committee of the County Bar, and is a past President of the Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association. Marvin's objectives, if elected, are found below:
1. Increasing the Relevance and Membership of the SDCBA
The SDCBA must become more relevant to all attorneys in the legal profession, regardless of practice area and whether the attorneys practice in large or mid-size law firms, small law firms, government law departments or corporate law departments. If elected, I will work to increase the membership of the SDCBA by reviewing current benefits so that all attorneys in San Diego County may want to become active members of the SDCBA.
2. Increasing and Retaining Diversity in the Legal Profession
I am committed to increasing and retaining diversity in the legal profession. As the chair of the SDCBA's Ethnic Relations & Diversity Committee (ERDC) this year, the SDCBA approved the ERDC's "Diversity Pledge." The Diversity Pledge contains no quotas, and provides non-mandatory suggestions on how law firms and corporate law departments in San Diego County may increase and retain the diversity of their attorneys, including race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. If elected, I hope to continue my commitment to increasing and retaining diversity in the legal profession by trying to create a SDBCA diversity "pipeline" program with a local law school and by working closely with the ERDC.
3. Improving Specific SDCBA Sections and Committees
The SDCBA has a number of effective sections and committees. The Children at Risk Committee, of which I am a participating member, is a fine example of the SDCBA at its best for its wide-ranging work with at-risk youth. The Young/New Laywers Division (YNLD) of the SDCBA is performing exceptionally well and should be lauded for its success. However, some sections and committees are unfortunately not functioning as effectively. If elected, I will work hard to improve the effectiveness of the sections and committees that are not functioning well.
If you are a member of the SDCBA, please remember to vote.
