Work continues to diversify Colorado's judiciary, with an emphasis to appoint more judges who are Black, Latino, and Asian.

Colorado's judges are getting more diverse. Nineteen Black female  judges were celebrated recently at an event hosted by the Colorado Association of Black Women Attorneys. Danielle Rash is with that non-profit and is a senior assistant City Attorney in the Denver City Attorney's Office. She spoke with Chandra Thomas Whitfield, along with Gary Jackson, a former senior Denver County Court Judge.
