Answer from Cynthia Loo:
I have run my own courtroom in East Los Angeles for three years, as well as one in Compton for three years before that. Additionally, I have previous judicial experience hearing family law matters.
I am the recipient of the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court Bar Association's 2004 Juvenile Court Judge of the Year award "as a result of the vote of [JCBA's] members in recognition of distinguished professional contribution to the practice of California Juvenile law . . ."
Prior to being sworn to sit as a Superior Court referee, I have been a research attorney in civil and criminal matters for U.S. District Court Judge Edward Rafeedie. Later, I was appointed by the First, Second and Fourth District Court of Appeals to represent indigent individuals in civil appeals.
I am currently teaching my fifth semester of criminal procedure at the People's College of Law. I have also taught courses in juvenile justice.
I have spoken on behalf of the Superior Court to the Community regarding topics such as gang violence, the "Three Strikes" law, domestic violence, women in the law, teaching law, diversity in the legal profession and on the bench, and juvenile justice.
I have been requested to submit articles for publication to GAVEL TO GAVEL, the Los Angeles County Superior Court's Judicial Magazine; THE BENCH, the official magazine of the California Judge's Association and LA LAWYER, the publication of the LA County Bar. Her articles have also been published in THE CRIMINAL DOCKET, the publication of the Criminal Justice Section of the LA County Bar; CALIFORNIA COURT'S REVIEW; WHITTIER JOURNAL OF CHILD AND FAMILY ADVOCACY; DAILY JOURNAL; WLALA NEWSLETTER and the American Bar Association's JD RECORD.
