Annual Installation Banquet

Judge Carolyn Bell
Judge Carolyn Bell is no stranger to
public service. Her love for public
service is evident in her conversation
and career history so it is no surprise
that she has continued her legal
vocation as a Circuit Court Judge.
Prior to her appointment to the bench,
Judge Bell spent the majority of her
career serving as a federal prosecutor
for the United States Department of
Justice. Judge Bell began at DOJ in
Washington, D.C., where she worked
as a Senior Trial Attorney for the Tax
Division, Criminal Section.
In that
capacity, she traveled the country
prosecuting all kinds of crimes with
a tax angle.
Her cases included
everything from individuals who
willfully failed to pay their taxes, to the
silent owners of a Las Vegas Casino,
to community leaders profiting from
one of the largest drug organizations
in Southern California.
While in
Washington, Judge Bell also served
as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney
prosecuting street crimes, and on a
detail in the Deputy Attorney General’s
Office.
