After 23 years, Judge Ramona Joyce Garrett retired from the Superior Court of Solano County. She was appointed to the Northern Solano Municipal Court by former Republican Governor Pete Wilson on January 28, 1992, becoming the first African-American woman to serve as a judge in Solano County. Garrett then became a superior court judge when the municipal and superior courts merged in 1998.[1][2] While a single mother with a young daughter, Garrett attended Santa Clara University and graduated with a degree in philosophy in 1974. She then received her J.D. from the University of California, Davis in 1980. Garrett then went to work, first practicing law in the private sector and later serving as a prosecutor in both Solano and Contra Costa counties. During her judicial career, Garrett helped establish the Solano County Drug Court in 1997 and served as the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Solano County from 2008 to 2009.[1] In her retirement, Garrett plans to continue working in a judicial capacity and has signed up with the Assigned Judges Program to serve in temporary assignments for the California trial courts.[1][3]
