COURT ADMINISTRATION
As provided by the California Constitution, judges are initially appointed by the Governor to serve on the Superior Court bench.
Welcome to the Superior Court Community-Focused Court Planning information page. Here you will find out about our outreach programs and our ongoing efforts to seek out and include community interests and concerns in our planning process. In our county, as in the rest of the state, community-focused court planning is an ongoing exercise. The initial Long-Range Strategic Plan required by the Judicial Council is just the beginning of a work in perpetual progress. Our local planning team and the court are committed to making the process work now and in the future for the betterment of our local justice system and for the benefit of the community we serve.

- Court – Community Leadership and Liaison Program
- The Court and Community Leadership and Liaison Program establishes a bridge between the Court and various ethnic and immigrant communities as well as the disabled community in San Joaquin County. The program is designed to provide an effective means of communication between the Courts and people from these communities.
The program has three components. First, participants in the program attend an “Academy” which provides them with information covering general topics related to the justice system and topics specific to our local justice system. Second, individuals who “graduate” from the Academy serve a liaison function with their communities. They are available to answer questions people in their community may have concerning the justice system and/or to contact the person within the system who might be able to answer the question. Third, participants serve as representatives for their communities and meet with the courts on a regular basis to discuss court-related problems or concerns in their communities.
