                      Wednesday, October 30, 2019

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Justice Eugene Premo 
and commend him on his 50th anniversary on the bench.
  Gene started his judicial career in 1969 in San Jose, beginning 50 
years of service, when he was appointed to the Municipal Court in Santa 
Clara Judicial District. He served in that court for five years.
  In December of 1974 he was elevated to the Superior Court of Santa 
Clara County where he served until October 1988. Elevated to the 6th 
appellate district in September of 1988, he has served his community 
through his dedicated service on the Court of Appeal.
  I have known Gene for many years as a fellow alum from the University 
of Santa Clara School of Law and from my years on the Board of 
Supervisors of Santa Clara County. Gene is someone who cares deeply 
about his community, his family and the law. Unfailingly fair, he is a 
person of the highest integrity. I have fond memories of our many 
professional and personal interactions while he served in the Superior 
Court. His exemplary life makes his family, his community and Santa 
Clara Law School very proud.
  Madam Speaker, the Congress joins Gene in celebrating 50 years of 
service to justice, the rule of law and the people of California. The 
Santa Clara Bar Association will be having their annual judges' night 
on November 21st and plan to honor Gene for his achievements
