Championing inclusion and opening doors for others has been a hallmark of Judge Elizabeth L. Bradley’s career, and LACBA is proud to honor her with the 2026 Philip H. Lam Diversity Impact Award.
Now serving on the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Judge Bradley has built a distinguished career grounded in excellence, leadership, and service. Before joining the bench, she developed a respected plaintiff-side practice in legal malpractice, professional responsibility, employment law, and civil appeals, while also serving in leadership roles in private practice and bar service.
Judge Bradley’s impact on diversity in the legal profession has been profound. Through her work with LACBA and the broader legal community, she has advanced implicit bias education, helped strengthen judicial evaluation practices, and created pathways for diverse attorneys to pursue judicial appointments. Her leadership has helped expand opportunity, equity, and representation throughout the profession.
LACBA is honored to recognize Judge Bradley for her lasting contributions to diversity, mentorship, and the future of the legal community.
Join us tonight for LACBA’s annual gala to induct new leadership and honor this year’s award recipients. https://lacba.org/?pg=Events&evAction=showDetail&eid=321626
