Justice Richli Profile

The Daily Journal profiled 4/2 Justice Betty Richli last week. 

She's quoted as saying appellate jurists are "'the last of the generalists . . . .  We have to know something about everything, whether it's a criminal case, an environmental case, a juvenile case or a family law case - anything that's out there.'"

The article provides comments on Justice Richli from various attorneys, who say she is "'very passionate,'" "'very thorough,'" and "'highly professional and courteous when dealing with attorneys,'" though "'she doesn't suffer fools very lightly,'" and won't let lawyers "get away with saying something that doesn't make sense legally.'"
