I need help deciding appeals and crafting appellate opinions.
The goals are to achieve the ideal of equal justice under law and to inspire
the public with the excellence of its state appellate justice system. The work
is fulfilling, important, and fascinating: we encounter human conflicts from
the mundane to the profound, in practically every legal setting. We will work
together, directly, and with a small, supportive, friendly, and talented team
in chambers.
There is one opening now, which I hope to fill straight away,
and another in the fall of 2019. You must have excellent academic and
professional credentials and must have passed the California bar exam. You have
got to love writing and research and to enjoy puzzling through the law to
figure it out. I am open to lawyers who would like to clerk for a set term as
well as to those considering a judicial research attorney career. It is fine if
you are entertaining both possibilities and have not decided. The more
professional experience you have, the better.
