CALA San Diego Local Leadership Council Member George Coles had a letter-to-the-editor published in the San Diego Union-Tribune about the importance of judges. Here's what he had to say:

"Businesses take note of a state’s legal climate when deciding where to expand or locate. With California’s reputation favoring plaintiff lawyers over small business, it’s more important than ever for voters to make informed choices for judges – and state lawmakers for that matter. In a recent statewide survey, two out of three California small business owners said they would be able to create more jobs if they were better protected against abusive lawsuits. I encourage voters to consider judicial candidates a top priority."
