In order to combat the presence of bias in the courtroom, the San Bernardino Superior Court is launching a community outreach committee. The committee will work with local bar associations to sponsor and support educational programs designed to eliminate bias, develop and maintain an informal procedure for receiving complaints related to bias in the courtroom, including but not limited to bias based on disability, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Members may include, but are not limited to, judges, lawyers, court administrators, and representatives from minority, women’s, gay and lesbian bar associations and from organizations that represent persons with disabilities. Interested members of the public are encouraged to submit a letter of intent to [email protected] by September 30, 2020 to start the application process explaining why they would like to join the committee.
