Toni Momberger writes for Follow Our Courts about a program featuring Justice Joshua Groban in conversation with Riverside County Superior Judge — and former appellate attorney — Kira Klatchko and Desert Bar Association President Lori Sanford. He “talk[ed] about his time with Gov. Edmund G. ‘Jerry’ Brown, the experience of sharing a name with a multiplatinum singer-songwriter, and his commitment to social justice.”
Asked about the best part of being a Supreme Court justice, “Groban said he was blown away by the intelligence and collegiality of the other justices.” The worst part? “ ‘Staring at a statute and thinking, “Boy the Legislature really screwed this up.” ’ ”
He also spoke about the other Josh Groban, saying “people often confuse him with the music artist, who not only tweeted Justice Groban to congratulate him on his Supreme Court appointment, but showed up to a party in the justice’s honor that night.” (Link added.)
