WESTMINSTER — Stephen K. Tamura’s name will grace Orange County Superior Court’s West Justice Center to honor the late judge’s legacy of groundbreaking successes and best sex video gamesto serve as recognition of the contributions of Asian Americans to Orange County and the United States.
“It was a real privilege to submit the application to name West Justice Center in honor of the late judge,” said Superior Court Presiding Judge Kirk Nakamura, discussing the application submitted by Orange County community members to the Judicial Council of California, which owns and oversees all court facilities throughout the state.
“He was a man of many ‘firsts’ and I am very proud to have followed his footsteps to the bench,” Nakamura added.
Tamura was the first Asian American attorney in Orange County, the first Asian American to serve as county counsel in Orange County, the first Asian American Superior Court judge and presiding judge in Orange County, and the first Asian American justice on an appellate court in the continental United States.?
During his time on the Appellate Court, he also served as justice pro tempore on the California Supreme Court until his retirement.
After his retirement, he served as a member of the California Judicial Council from 1979 to 1981. He died in 1982.
The publication of the decision of the Judicial Council of California to name West Justice Center in Westminster for Tamura coincided with the celebrations of Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Month, giving the action added significance for Orange County’s Asian Pacific Islander community and the Japanese American community more specifically.
Born in 1911, Tamura attended Pomona College and graduated from UC Berkeley. Following the completion of his studies, he established his private practice in 1938. His law office building at 202 E. Fourth St. in Santa Ana still stands today. The law office building was listed as a historical structure by the Bowers Museum Japanese American Council’s Historic Building Survey in 1986.
The late judge’s perseverance was tested when World War II broke out and he was incarcerated in Poston, Ariz. Despite this setback, Tamura worked hard and was permitted by the War Relocation Authority to study at Harvard School of Law in 1943. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1945, serving in Italy with the all-Nisei “Go for Broke” 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most decorated military unit for its size and length of service in U.S. history.?
Along with his comrades, Tamura was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2011.
