Candidate for
Judge of the Superior Court; Office 23

I am a 1971 graduate of the University of Notre Dame (Student Body President), I received my law degree from University of California's Boalt Hall School of Law in 1974. As a Court Commissioner for 8 years, I have presided over thousands of Traffic, Small Claims, Criminal and civil matters. I initiated the court's Traffic Outreach Project to better educate young drivers; trained judges at the California Judges College; and was named a "Judicial Standout" by Alameda County attorneys. As an attorney for 17 years, I served countless people in consumer and small business matters, and juvenile and family law. I have been actively involved in civil rights, community service, and youth coaching activities. I intend to provide creative leadership during court unification and judicial outreach to Alameda County. My record of integrity, firmness and fairness has earned me the endorsement of distinguished community and goverment leaders.
