Cantil-Sakauye named to replace Ronald George

If confirmed Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye, 50, would be the first Asian American chief justice and give the court a female majority for the first time in history.

"She is a living example of the American Dream and when she is confirmed by the voters in November, Judge Cantil-Sakauye will become California's first Filipina chief justice; adding to our High Court's already rich diversity," Schwarzenegger said in a news release this morning.
