In June, Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye said in an interview with The Recorder’s Cheryl Miller that she hadn’t “made any long-term plans” about how long she’d stay on the job, but noted, “I could retire in October. I would be of age and I have way more years than I need, and I could walk away and do something else.”
At her annual meeting with the media yesterday (related: here, here, and here), the Chief Justice disclosed that, after apparently doing some planning in the last six months, she intends to stay put. Miller in The Recorder and Craig Anderson in the Daily Journal report that Cantil-Sakauye intends to stand for reelection in 2022 to another 12-year term. “This is the best job,” she’s quoted as saying.
