The first justice to give birth while in office, the seventh female justice in the court’s history and its fourth African American, Kruger has been forging a singular path on the state’s most prestigious court.
Four years after her swearing-in, the Los Angeles County native and former U.S. Supreme Court practitioner has become the most unpredictable of Gov. Jerry Brown’s three appointees on the seven-member court. ....
While Brown’s other appointees, Goodwin Liu and Mariano-Florentino Cuellar, have used their perches on the state’s highest court to try to set clear rules or steer policy, Kruger strives to keep changes in the law incremental.
Today's DJ has
Words of Wisdom, quotes from various law school graduation speakers, including
the Chief, who at UC Davis said:
“Speak out about access to justice and barriers to access to justice. ... I spoke out about ICE arrests in state courthouses because as Chief Justice of California, I was concerned that the public trust and confidence that the judicial branch relies on was being infringed upon based on these civil arrests in our courthouses, and that the rule of law was being undermined and safety was being undermined because people were feeling disenfranchised from justice and would not come to court.”
Also in the DJ is First Asian American Lawyer in California Remembered a Century Late, about
C.C. Wing (
CSBN 2326). The Asian American Bar Assn and USF School of Law held an event yesterday to honor his legacy and impact.
Justice Ming Chin "met Wing during his first year of law school" and said that Wing had "a remarkable impact on his life and career."
