Last week CJAC held its final two Civil Justice Leadership Award luncheons after presenting our first two awards the week prior. On Wednesday, December 7th, we headed to Tustin in Orange County to present an award to Assemblymember Don Wagner (R-Irvine), who represents the 70th Assembly District. As mentioned previously, Wagner received the award for being a consistent, strong voice for civil justice reform as Vice-Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, which hears hundreds of bills each year that impact the civil justice system. He also authored and supported a number of bills that would bring greater balance to California's legal system. His luncheon was attended by 40 guests and he is pictured here with his award between CJAC President Kim Stone and Legislative Director Katherine Pettibone.

The next day we presented our final award to Assemblymember Alyson Huber (D-El Dorado Hills), who represents the 10th Assembly District. Huber is also a member of the Assembly Judiciary Committee and, as we've mentioned, received an award for her open-minded approach to civil justice issues, which resulted in her opposing several proposals that would have worsened California's legal environment. Her luncheon was also attended by 40 people and she's pictured here with Kim and Katherine.
