The Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area (“AABA”) is pleased to announce that it is endorsing the following candidates for the June 5, 2018 election for San Francisco Superior Court judges (“June Election”): Hon. Andrew Y.S. Cheng, Hon. Curtis Karnow, Hon. Cynthia Ming-Mei Lee, and Hon. Jeffrey S. Ross.

AABA is committed to promoting a strong and impartial judiciary and participating in the important work of evaluating judicial candidates.  “AABA believes that a qualified and diverse judiciary is a critical component of our legal system.  Our courts cannot perform their integral role in society without skilled judges who evaluate and apply the law fairly.  AABA believes that the judiciary is at its best when judges are individuals with strong ethics and a commitment to the advancement of justice in society,” said Michelle Park Chiu, AABA Secretary. 

AABA is proud to endorse Judges Cheng, Karnow, Lee and Ross. Each of these candidates is an outstanding jurist and an upstanding member of the community.  They are models of integrity and judicial competence and have demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of justice.  AABA believes each candidate deserves to be re-elected to their judicial seat in the June Election.
