San Diego
Judge Judith McConnell, assistant presiding judge of the San Diego Superior Court, has been reelected to the position for 1989. The action came earlier this month on a unanimous vote by McConnell’s Superior Court colleagues.
McConnell was appointed to the Municipal Court in 1977 by then-Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. She was elevated to the Superior Court by Brown in 1980 and has spent much of her tenure on the bench as presiding judge of Juvenile Court.
A graduate of UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law, McConnell is immediate past president of the National Assn. of Women Judges.
