  Mr. GARCIA of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
life and service of the Honorable Alan Rosenfield, who served for more 
than 15 years as a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court. 
Throughout his life and career, Judge Rosenfield exemplified what it 
meant to be a public servant with dignity, honor, and integrity.
  Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, Alan was an exemplary student, 
charming friend, and dedicated son. Returning to Los Angeles after 
spending his college years in Iowa, Alan first began his life of 
service by joining the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, one of 
the most storied and prestigious law enforcement agencies in 
California. While protecting and serving the citizens of Los Angeles 
County, he worked hard to also obtain a law degree, being admitted to 
the California Bar in 1981. After becoming an attorney, Alan continued 
his career as a Deputy District Attorney, enforcing the law and 
prosecuting dangerous criminals.
  In 1990, Alan become the Honorable Judge Rosenfield after being 
appointed to the Newhall Municipal Court by California Governor George 
Deukmejian. He was later elevated to the Los Angeles County Superior 
Court in 2000, where he served for 17 years and had jurisdiction over 
cases in Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley. As a judge, Rosenfield 
applied the law fairly and equally, fostering a justice system that 
upheld the values of our Constitution while also protecting the 
freedoms and security of law-abiding citizens. Even after his 
retirement, he continued to serve as an assigned judge and remained an 
active member of the Santa Clarita community, continuing to give back 
and devote time to charitable causes. Serving in the U.S. Army Reserves 
for nearly three decades, Judge Rosenfield was the recipient of the 
distinguished Judge Advocates Association Outstanding Career Armed 
Services Attorney Award.

  Although he has left us too soon, the impact of Judge Alan 
Rosenfields life will not soon be forgotten. Our communities are safer 
and our lives richer because of the life and service of Judge 
Rosenfield. We will continue to keep the Rosenfield family in our 
prayers, and we are thankful that our community was blessed enough to 
have Alan as a leader in the justice system.
