January 2026 Book Selection: Her Honor by LaDoris Hazzard Cordell. 

In Her Honor, Judge LaDoris Hazzard Cordell provides a rare and thought-provoking insider account of our legal system, sharing vivid stories of the cases that came through her courtroom and revealing the strengths, flaws, and much-needed changes within our courts. Judge Cordell, the first African American woman to sit on the Superior Court of Northern California, knows firsthand how prejudice has permeated our legal system. And yet, she believes in the system. From ending school segregation to legalizing samesex marriage, its progress relies on legal professionals and jurors who strive to make the imperfect system as fair as possible.
