Judge Klein, who will seek election to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, argues that women are underrepresented in California's judiciary. She cites statewide figures showing only 26 women among 919 judges, with most confined to municipal court. She notes Governor Reagan has appointed 10 women and stresses the need for equal opportunities and a new mindset toward women in the legal system.
