Evans sworn in as Alameda County judge
Alameda County Superior Court got its newest LGBTQ judge October 4 when Kelli Evans was sworn in during a hybrid ceremony. A Democrat who identifies as queer Evans, 52, was appointed to the East Bay bench by Governor Gavin Newsom in July.
Evans and her wife, Terri Shaw, joined Presiding Judge Tara Desautels in-person at the René C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland.
Shaw enrobed Evans before she took the oath of office, administered by Desautels. The couple's daughter, Kaden Evans-Shaw, joined virtually while in between classes at college, Evans said. "I want to thank Governor Newsom and the staff members in the governor's office," Evans said during her remarks.
