Editor's Introduction

This issue of the Marin Lawyer provides us the opportunity to reflect on community. Contributors write on a range of topics centering around community. MCBA President Athossa Fullerton updates us on the ongoing effort to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the fact that our societal understandings of sex and gender identities have evolved significantly since the ERA was first proposed in 1921. Gustavo Goncalves outlines the County’s progress on implementing AB 1185, civilian oversight of the Sheriff’s Office.

As we move into Fall and our children go back to school, I write on a subject I have been thinking about for too many years – the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

Law enforcement agencies are created to enhance public safety. They are entrusted with a broad range of powers and protections to carry out their duties. Incidents of law enforcement misconduct have damaged public trust and raised questions about the adequacy of the systems of checks and balances that oversee law enforcement. AB 1185 offers a new mechanism to strike a balance and open a dialogue.

The Marin County Bar Association has an important partnership with the Marin County Law Library. For several years now, they have jointly operated a “Lawyers in the Library” program offering free monthly consultations to self-represented litigants in Marin. And just a few months ago, they added a new subject for such consultations: civil appeals. Because of the uniqueness and importance of this new resource, the law library board asked me to write up a brief explanation and history to make sure all bar association members are aware of it.
