“I am honoring Alan Slater for his 35 years of work leading the Orange County court system. He helped people get legal aid, improved court technology, and made court records more open.”
Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Alan Slater, whose 35 years of leadership have strengthened the Orange County Superior Court and promoted justice. As superior court executive officer, Alan prioritized the well-being of those who are too often overlooked by the justice system. Under his direction, partnerships with community groups and leaders created a bona fide safety net of legal aid and social services, ensuring all residents were able to access due process. As a visionary in court technology, Alan pioneered statewide models that expanded access to restraining orders, improved officer safety, and advanced transparency through open access to court records. His service reflects a deep commitment to public accountability and through good service to all people. Today, I ask my colleagues to reflect on how local leaders like Alan Slater strengthen our institutions and protect the rights of those who are most in need. Mr. Speaker, I thank Alan for his work.
