diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession, ensuring that
underrepresented voices are heard and celebrated; and

 WHEREAS, The dedication of these organizations to fostering

representation in the courts serves as an inspiration to aspiring legal
professionals and the broader community; and

 WHEREAS, It is fitting and proper that this Legislative Body pause
in its deliberations to acknowledge the significance of this event and
to recognize the remarkable contributions of Black judges in shaping the

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
