The Yuma County Judicial Selection Committee will gather Saturday to interview candidates for an open Court Commissioner position in Yuma County’s Superior Court.
They will interview top candidates and recommend the best three, but Presiding Judge David Haws will be the decider. Judge Haws will appoint the Commissioner who will sit on the bench for up to a year.
Yuma lawyers are urging Judge Haws to use this power responsibly and prioritize diversity in making his decision.
In a letter, lawyers say women and Latinos are underrepresented on the court, and that it is Judge Haws’ duty as an elected official to change the Superior Court to reflect the community.
