Call him Judge Hahn now

Former Los Angeles mayor James Hahn was appointed a Superior Court judge today by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. So were 16 other lawyers, six of them deputy district attorneys.

Here's an LAT item

Statement from Mayor Villaraigosa: ""I applaud the governor's decision to appoint Jim Hahn to the Los Angeles bench and congratulate Jim on this prestigious new chapter in his long history of public service. Jim has served this City for more than 25 years, evoking supreme judicial temperament every step of the way. Today, he begins serving California."
