Justice Grodin memorial scheduled for October

August 29, 2025

Supreme Court Justice Joseph Grodin, who died in April, will be remembered during a memorial program. The October 3 event at UC Law San Francisco will begin with remarks by Justice Leondra Kruger.

The event page lists two panels (Justice Grodin’s Jurisprudence and Legal Scholarship and Justice Grodin in California Legal and Political History) and says that the program will be live streamed after Justice Kruger’s opening remarks.

The page says, “This event will overview his jurisprudence as a justice on the Court of Appeal and California Supreme Court, his legal scholarship, and the historical and legal significance of the 1986 retention election.”
