Throughout his career, Judge Mark A. Juhas has dedicated his work to improve services and access to justice in family court, particularly for low- and moderate-income, self-represented litigants. That work included a program to educate and promote the practice of family law to attorneys statewide.
Judge Juhas was also the longtime chair of the California Access to Justice Commission, including work to create the commission’s Incubator Project. The project is part of a national movement to connect practical training for newer lawyers to help provide affordable legal assistance to low- and moderate-income clients.
Cosponsored by the Judicial Council, California Lawyers Association, and California Judges Association, and in coordination with the California Access to Justice Commission, the Aranda award honors a judge demonstrating a long-term, tireless commitment to improving, and promoting fairness and access to the courts, especially for low-and moderate-income Californians.
