Judicial Council Update

The Daily Cal published an article on Friday about the extension of Bobby Gregg's term on Judicial Council and the addition to the council of Marisa Cuevas. Both may prove to be crucial members of the council - Gregg will be one of only three members to have experience with elections lawsuits, while Cuevas is, if not the first Latina woman on the council ever, the first in a very long tome. Neither of these votes were as contested vote as expected, with each receiving a near unanimous vote for approval.

The Daily Cal also finally covered the resignations of three members of the Judicial Council (Taylor, McCarty, Davis). This is really the key note: that there are still two open spots on the council just weeks from the ASUC Elections, which are tenatively scheduled for April 5-7. In addition, what has caused this recent burst of resignations? Only Mike Davis' resignation was brought on by his impending term expiration. Maybe there should be some sort of small stipends for council members ($500 per year?), in order to drum up more interest and qualified applicants, two things that are currently lacking.Email This Post!
