Martin Jenkins Is the First LGBTQ+ Nominee to Calif.'s Supreme Court
Justice Martin Jenkins — a justice of the California Court of Appeals for the First District — before his appointment today by California Governor Gavin Newsom as the first LGBTQ+ person on the California Supreme Court, he brought that imaginary conversation to life for me, and so much more.Justice Jenkins, or Marty as many know him, is a very private person.
