The California Supreme Court Historical Society Fall/Winter 2017 newsletter is now available. [Disclosure: I’m on the Society’s board of directors.]
The newsletter includes tributes to retired Justice Kathryn Werdegar by colleagues, family, and friends and by a staff attorney. (By the way, Justice Werdegar announced her retirement 296 days ago, but her replacement has yet to be named.) Also in the current edition is — Law Walk: A Legal Site-Seeing Tour of Downtown Los Angeles; People v. Hall: A Postscript; History on the Walls: The Santa Ana Courthouse Murals; Images of History: The Mosk Family Autograph Collection; Tooling Around Berkeley in a Yellow Jag: A Tribute to Professor Herma Hill Kay; John Van de Kamp: Man of Principle; Book Review: How Adversarialism Triumphed – and What It Wrought; the 2017 Student Writing Competition Winner; news that a Student Chapter of the Society Begins at UC Hastings; and Dan Grunfeld Takes Leadership Role at Pardee RAND Graduate School.
