SCOCAblog analyzed Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero’s pre-Supreme Court career on the Fourth District, Division One, Court of Appeal, finding her to have been “a typical modern California appellate justice.”
The study concluded:
- Justice Guerrero showed a high degree of consensus.
- There is nothing striking about Justice Guerrero’s opinions or voting pattern. Instead, her voting and opinion patterns are consistent with each other, and with those of her colleagues.
- Justice Guerrero’s concurrences offer insight into her views on due process and restitution fines, and more generally about her approach to dissent.
