Maggie Yang swears in to San Bernardino bench

San Bernardino’s newest judge, Maggie Yang, took her oath of office in Department V2 of Victorville’s Joseph B. Campbell Courthouse on Aug. 28. 

“I came to the United States from Taiwan on December 26, 1985, when I was seven years old, when I arrived at my Aunt Theresa’s house that evening. It was the first time I had seen a Christmas tree, and it was the first time that I had received Christmas presents. That little seven-year-old immigrant girl, who did not even speak English at the time, could never have imagined that one day she would be standing here before you as a superior court judge,” Yang said.
