Community Service
1. Big Brothers of the South Bay. Sponsored a Little Brother for several years before I married.
2. Pro Bono representation of environmental organizations in multiple complex water rights litigation matters.
3. Sat as the Deputy State Controller on 44 state board and commissions including the State Crime Victims' Compensation and Government Claims Board, the Commission on State Mandates, the State Lands Commission, the State Public Works Board and 40 investment and finance authorities administrating state loans and bonds for educational facilities, health care facilities, industrial expansion, real estate construction and pollution remediation.
4. Half of my legal career was spent advocating for the public interest as both a Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney and a Grade 5 California state attorney for considerably less than what I could have earned in private practice
My Understanding of the Objectives and goals of the Police Oversight Commission?
Based upon my experience working through all facets of the criminal law system from investigating felonies through closing arguments in a murder case, I am amazed of some of the massive misunderstandings among the general public based on fictional movies and television programs. I believe that ta Police Oversight Commission works best as a neutral, credible bridge between local law enforcement to facilitate communication and minimize misunderstandings.
What in My Background, training, education or interests do I feel qualify me to serve on the police Oversight Commission?
I have a skill set and range of varied experiences working with all sorts of citizens across a wide range of circumstances.
First, my communication skills were refined while winning the National Debate Championship, teaching classes in Political and Legal Communications at Pepperdine University, litigating a challenging series of complex civil and criminal litigation at the highest level and serving as a speech writer for political candidates.
Second, I have had the opportunity to act as a felony prosecutor, a defense attorney and as a labor relation counsel prosecuting state employees, prison guards and all state law enforcement agencies who have violated the terms of their employment.
Even more personally important to me, each of those law enforcement agencies wrote letters of support when I applied for a judicial appointment. Those letters are attached to my resume. I was proud that my efforts to remain fair were appreciated.
Finally, I have had people who have reached out and given me the opportunity to succeed and without their kindness, my climb would have been insurmountable. I selfishly retain memories of each of them. I honestly believe that with the communication skills, the knowledge and the right attitude, we can pay it forward to others.

ENDORSEMENTS
In mid-2002 I applied to Governor Gray Davis for a judicial appointment. I was thoroughly vetted by the Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation and rated" well-qualified." Unfortunately, Governor Davis was recalled before he could appoint me because I insisted on a Los Angeles Conty assignment.
Here is a sample of my most applicable endorsements:
• Hon. Robert Dukes, Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Judge Dukes had been a judge at the Pomona Courthouse until he was elevated to Assistant Presiding Judge and then Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Re: Judicial Application - Barrett William Melnerney
Dear Mr. Pines:
I write this letter both in my capacity as the Assisting Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles and as a person who is personally acquainted with applicant Barrett Mcinerney. I express my support for his appointment to our bench. Not only is he extremely qualified, but he fuffills our need for judicial officers who reside in and are able to serve the constituents of Santa Clarita/Antelope Valley.
i first met Mr. Mcinerney when I was a young prosecutor with the District Attorney's Office in East Los Angeles in the late 70's. Since that time, as I'm sure his resume will attest, he has distinguished himself as an extremely knowledgeable and well-rounded litigator. Not only does he have a background in criminal law, he has extreme depth in civil litigation. One would find it difficult to find an applicant with a more diverse capacity.
I have spoken with Mr. Mcinerney who informs me that it would be his desire to serve the court in the Palmdale/Lancaster/Santa Clarita area. As you are aware, it is extremely difficult for us in judicial management to find willing judicial officers with such desire.
A review of Mr. Mclnerney's accomplishments I believe show the qualities that would make an exemplary judge. He would continue the fine history of excellent appointments made by the Governor to our court. I know that he would do the Governor and our court proud and would well serve our constituents.
Very truly yours,
Robert A. Dukes
Assistant Presiding Judge
