Aviva K. Bobb Wins Award For Fairness In Family Courts

San Diego—Chief Justice Ronald M. George tomorrow will present the 2005 Benjamin Aranda III Access to Justice Award to Superior Court of Los Angeles County Judge Aviva K. Bobb, a longtime advocate of fairness and access in the state’s family courts.

The award will be presented at a luncheon at the Statewide Judicial Branch Conference, a meeting of court leaders held in conjunction with the annual meetings of the State Bar and California Judges Association.

The Aranda Access to Justice Award, named for the founding chair of the Judicial Council’s Access and Fairness Advisory Committee, honors a trial judge or an appellate justice whose activities demonstrate a long-term commitment to improving access to justice. The award is co-sponsored by the Judicial Council, the State Bar, and the California Judges Association, in association with the California Commission on Access to Justice.

Judge Bobb was appointed to the Los Angeles Municipal Court in 1980 and became a judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County in 1994. Her judicial career has been devoted to pursuing full and equal access to the courts, stressing fairness and respect for all litigants. She has been at the forefront of dramatic improvements in the family law system to make it more friendly and accessible to self-represented litigants and more responsive to the evolving legal needs of all litigants, regardless of financial resources.
