Judge David Edwin Power will receive the Distinguished Service Award from the Judicial Council of California at its Aug. 20 meeting, according to a statement issued by Brian K. Taylor, Solano County Superior Court executive officer.

In the statement released Tuesday, Taylor said, “This award is the highest honor given by the Judicial Council and recognizes those who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and made significant contributions to the administration of justice.”

Taylor’s said the Judicial Council of California will recognize Power for his role as leader in the panel’s oversight and management of “the largest court facilities program in the nation.”

Power, a Solano Superior Court judge, is chairperson of the council’s Trial Court Facility Modification Advisory Committee and is a member of its Court Facilities Advisory Committee and Facilities Policies Working Group, Taylor said.

“Judge Power has made an enormous contribution to the state’s portfolio of more than 500 court facilities for which the council assumed responsibility from the 58 counties in 2002,” he said.

“We are extremely proud of Judge Power and the sometimes difficult work he and his committee have done on behalf of California’s judiciary,” Presiding Judge E. Bradley Nelson said in the statement.
