Professional references from many of those who have worked with Julian Bailey over the years and endorse him for Superior Court Judge.
"I have known Julian for over 30 years when we started in the DA's office prosecuting and trying cases. I have also been able to watch his demeanor in court and observe his ethics, both as the District Attorney and as a Judge. I am confident he will make an excellent judge and he has my endorsement."

-Tony Rackauckas, Orange County District Attorney

"On behalf of the Orange County Coalition of Police and Sheriffs (O.C. Cops), it is my pleasure to inform you of our endorsement of your candidacy for Orange County Superior Court Judge, Office #50 for the June 8, 2010 California Statewide Direct Primary Election! Based on our comprehensive interview process; philosophical and record of support for public safety; local recommendations in the jurisdiction; and viable campaign -- have led us to endorse your candidacy.

-Joe Perez, 2010 Chairman, Orange County Coalition of Police & Sheriffs (OC COPS)

"We believe that you will be a valued addition to the bench and we unequivocally support you in your bid for election. We wish you success in the coming election and look forward to your victory and election as an Orange County Superior Court Judge."

-Senior Deputy District Attorney Ebrahim Baytieh on behalf of the Association of Orange County Deputy District Attorneys (240+ Prosecutors)

As a career prosecutor I have known Julian Bailey, himself a former prosecutor, for nearly 30 years. There is not a more knowledgeable, ethical or gentlemanly attorney, nor one that would make a finer judge, and I strongly endorse him for that office."

-William J. Feccia, Sr. Assistant District Attorney

"I have known Julian Bailey professionally for over 20 years. I have opposed him in several trials. These trials were always difficult. Not because of the facts of the cases but because of Julian's exceptional representation of his clients' interests. While difficult, these trials were always a pleasure, as Julian was a true professional; he was trustworthy, personable, prepared, ethical and very easy to deal with. I have no doubt that all these qualities will be displayed if Julian is elected to the Superior Court Bench. I wholeheartedly endorse Julian for a Superior Court Judgeship."

-Marc Rozenberg, Assistant District Attorney, Orange County District Attorney's Office

"Over the years I have appeared before judges in civil cases and criminal cases, in state court and in federal court. Good judges are experienced, intelligent, honest, patient, polite, diligent, courageous, and compassionate. It is rare that a judge possesses all attributes at once. Julian Bailey is that rarity + he is also a man of high professional ability, surpassing integrity, and unassailable character. I would be honored to call him 'Your Honor'."

-Edward R. Flores, Attorney at Law (former Prosecutor)

"Julian Bailey is among the most well liked and respected people in the Orange County legal community for very good reasons. He is smart, dedicated, experienced, and has tremendous integrity. As good as his professional reputation is, however, on a personal level, he is an even better man."

-Matt Murphy, Orange County D.A.'s Office, Homicide Unit

"Three traits that form the core of Julian Bailey are honesty, integrity and fair mindedness. His experience as a prosecutor, defense attorney and court referee place him in a unique position to see legal issues from all sides and his maturity and life experience ensure that important decisions will be carefully weighed and fairly implemented. It can truly be said that Julian Bailey has earned the respect of the Orange County Legal Community through years of exemplary service. I cannot think of any candidate who is as qualified."

-Lewis Rosenblum, Attorney at Law (former Prosecutor)

"Being a trial lawyer is not an easy calling. Being a trial lawyer for several decades is noteworthy in itself because of the rigors of the practice. However, to be a trial lawyer for that duration and be regarded as being both effective and respected by colleagues and adversaries alike is truly rare. Julian Bailey occupies this level of achievement and recognition as a consummate professional who has seen every permutation a courtroom may offer. Having been both a prosecutor and defense attorney, he understands and respects the differing dynamics each role in the courtroom commands. The citizens of Orange County could not be better served."

-Edward R. Muņoz, Attorney at Law (former Prosecutor)

"I believe that Julian Bailey will be an outstanding judge. He has a broad range of experience having been a prosecutor, a defense attorney and a Juvenile Court Referee. He is very respected by both the prosecution and the defense as he is always even-handed and hard-working. As a lawyer he has always been the lawyer that other lawyers turn to for advice because he combines knowledge and intelligence with common sense and judgment. He will be a tremendous asset to the Orange County Bench."

-Gary Pohlson, Attorney at Law, Past President, Orange County Bar Association (former Prosecutor)

"Please support Julian Bailey for Judge this June. He has served as a judicial officer for many years and has had careers as both a District Attorney and defense attorney. I have had many trials in front of him over the years and he has qualities that serve the bench well - - fair to all parties, rational, and decisive. He quickly grasps the issues and practices great courtroom efficiency. He is also an excellent human being."

-Yana Kennedy, Attorney for Children 14 years, Board member of CASA of Orange County 9 years

"I have known Julian Bailey for over 30 years. He has been an effective and ethical prosecutor, an accomplished defense attorney and a respected Referee for the Superior Court. I know he will make a fine judge."

-Hon. John Conley, Judge of the Orange County Superior Court
