- Filed a suit in partnership with The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, the ACLU Foundation of Northern California and Bay Area Legal Aid seeking to enjoin and declare unlawful San Mateo Superior Court’s civil assessment program. In an early victory and in response to claims that the California Judicial Council is allowing for an unconstitutional scheme to fund trial courts through the civil assessments, California eliminated all outstanding civil assessment debts—which total at least $500 million.
