Decades spent working with the justices of the California Supreme Court
The California Supreme Court’s sweeping authority governs the rights and responsibilities of nearly 40 million California residents, as well as millions of businesses and interest groups. We have lawyers who clerked as chambers attorneys for nearly a half-dozen of the court’s justices — and did it for decades. That gives us unique insight into how that court functions, and how to reach not just the justices, but also the clerks who help them choose the cases to hear and advise them how they should come out.
