Breakfast with the Bench
Join CJI for our annual breakfast for current and prospective members.
Breakfast with the Bench will explore the many paths to the Colorado judiciary and highlight opportunities to engage in the important work of judicial selection and service.
Ever wondered how Colorado’s judiciary operates—beyond the courtroom? This informal program offers a closer look at the people and processes that shape our state courts.
You’ll hear directly from judicial officers about their professional journeys and gain insight into Colorado’s judicial selection system, including how attorneys and community members can get involved.
Featured speakers include:
-Chief Judge Carl McGuire (13th Judicial District)
-Judge Jon Olafson (Denver District Court)
-Magistrate Dalia Labrador (18th Judicial District)
We are also pleased to welcome Nga Vương-Sandoval, Judicial Officer Outreach Program Lead, along with leaders from the State Court Administrator’s Office and the Diversity on the Bench Initiative, who will discuss:
-How the judicial selection process works in Colorado
-The role of Judicial Nominating and Performance Commissions
-Opportunities for involvement
Whether you are interested in public service, curious about the courts, or looking to engage beyond your practice, this program offers valuable opportunities to learn more.
