Solutions News is welcoming George Eskin, retired judge of the Superior Court of Santa Barbara County, on Friday, August 7th.

During his tenure on the bench, Judge Eskin’s primary assignment was a criminal trial department, where he established a Military Veterans Treatment Court Calendar, and he also presided in a civil trial department. He was appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to serve four years on the Criminal Law Advisory Committee to the Judicial Council. Santa Barbara Women Lawyers Foundation honored him as its 2012 Founding Father, and he received the 2013 John T. Rickard Judicial Service Award by the Santa Barbara County Bar Association. He retired from the bench in October 2013 and served for one year in the Judicial Council’s Assigned Judges Program in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo counties.
