Celebrating Judge Kelli Evans’s Appointment

How opportunity met preparation.

Photo by Josh Edelson

2022 has been a good year in spite of much political unrest, racial division, Covid and deaths, political brutality on BIOPC, election deniers, conspiracy theories, far-right Supreme Court justices, and the list goes on.

Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson, a Supreme Court Justice who was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Biden on February 25, 2022, hopefully, will bring an unbiased agenda to the Supreme Court that has been severely tainted by many of the appointees by Trump who appear to lean toward his agenda even as a former-president.

Justice Brown Jackson was confirmed on April 7, 2022, and sworn into office on June 30. Recently, she recused herself from a case that reflected her former alma mater, unlike Justice Thomas who faced many biased situations but refused to rescue himself.

History in the courts continues an upheaval with history-making appointments. Judge Kelli Evans won confirmation as an associate justice on California’s Supreme Court. She will take the seat of Justice Patricia Guerrero who will now serve as chief justice. Preparation meets opportunity.

Judge Evans, the high court’s first openly lesbian justice, was one of the two picks of Governor Gavin Newson for the California Supreme Court, along with Associate Justice Patricia Guerrero, the first Latina chief. Both won key confirmation, and voter approval, and will take their seats in January.

Evans is known by her colleagues and friends as being hardworking and well-qualified to serve as an associate justice per the review board. She wears the label as possessing the qualities and attributes indicative of a superior fitness to perform the appellate judicial function with a high degree of skill, effectiveness, and distinction.

Evans’ confirmation comes with total support from members of the commission. During her hearing, three of Evan’s friends and former colleagues spoke to her hearing and confirmed her qualifications and character. They heaped praise on her as being a hard worker, a consensus builder, possessing strong moral character, and dedicated to fairness and equality.

Prior to being appointed to the bench, Evans was Newsom’s chief deputy legal affairs secretary and had worked stints at the California Department of Justice, in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department, as an assistant public defender in Sacramento, and as associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. Evans’s resume includes other credits such as serving on federal teams that monitored troubled police departments.

Evans, a Denver native, was raised by her late grandmother who was instrumental in her success along with other women in her family. She attended the UC Davis School of Law. Knowledge got her to the door but support and wisdom got her to walk through the justice door.

In conclusion, congrats to Evans for pursuing her dream and leading the way for others to follow. Much gratitude for opening another door for BPIOC and women to walk into with confidence of belonging as opportunity meets preparation.
