Los Angeles Attorney Peter Navarro Elected Commissioner
By a MetNews Staff Writer
Los Angeles attorney Peter R. Navarro has been elected the court’s newest commissioner, judicial officers were told yesterday after votes were counted in the recent balloting.
Navarro, a sole practitioner whose office is near downtown Los Angeles, could not be reached for comment on his election. He is a graduate of UC Santa Cruz and People’s College of Law.
Admitted to the State Bar in 1981, Navarro practices criminal law and is a former president of the Mexican American Bar Association.
The new commissioner was elected from a list of candidates nominated by a judicial panel.
Following its tradition of many years standing, the court elected the candidate who was highest-ranked by the panel.
