Barbara Rodriguez Mundell, the top judge in Maricopa County, is being honored for something she has been criticized for in the past. Mundell is receiving the 2008 Racial Justice Leader Award from the YMCA of Maricopa County, in part for the special Spanish-language DUI courts she established. You may remember she came under fire a couple years back because of the courts, but the award announcement today seems to back the program. “Judge Mundell, the first woman and first Hispanic to serve as presiding judge, was recognized by the YWCA for her commitment to diversity, equality, and fair and impartial justice,” stated a news release today from the Maricopa County Superior Courts.
