This and that...

Don't miss the latest (Spring/Summer 2019) issue of the California Supreme Court Historical Society's newsletter, which includes an "introduction" to Justice Groban!

Last week's DJ's Exceptionally Appealing column was Supreme Removal about the CJP and former Supreme Court Justice McComb.
Last week's DJ also had a profile of SLO Superior Court Judge Rita Federman, who in addition to hearing family law matters, sits once a month on the county's appellate panel.

Today's DJ has GMSR's Alana Rotter in Counting the Minutes: Calculating the Deadline for Requesting a Statement of Decision. "When does the clock start to run? The Court of Appeal's recent decision in Dane-Elec Corp., USA v. Bodokh, 2019 DJDAR 4454 (May 24, 2019), provides some answers."

On July 11, BASF will present from noon to 1:30 (via webcast, so SoCalers can 'attend') Attacking and Defending Summary Judgments on Appeal, which will feature Justices Siggins and Stewart.

In the Dodging Appellate Sanctions category, see this decision here.

Also of note, a book review in Harvard Law Review, The Supreme Court's Legitimacy Dilemma
