Justice Mary Yu to speak at commencement

May 7, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Justice Mary Yu

Washington Supreme Court Associate Justice Mary Yu will address graduates at the UW Bothell commencement ceremony on June 10.

“Justice Yu has a compelling personal story, as well as a passion for social justice and public service,” said Chancellor Wolf Yeigh.

Yu was appointed to the high court in 2014 by Gov. Jay Inslee.

As a judge in 2012, Yu performed the first same-sex marriage in Washington on the day same-sex marriages became legal in the state. She is the first member of the LGBTQ community to serve on the state Supreme Court.
