KEYNOTE ADDRESS: A CONVERSATION WITH THE HONORABLE TANI CANTIL-SAKAUYE, CHIEF JUSTICE OF CALIFORNIA
Panelists: Cheryl Lee Johnson and Kathleen J. Tuttle1
For the third year in a row it has been our good fortune to have a member of the California Supreme Court as our keynote speaker. At this GSI, we welcomed our Chief Justice, Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye. The questioners were two former chairs of the Antitrust Section, Cheryl Johnson and Kathleen Tuttle. Johnson and Tuttle began the presentation with a brief introduction followed by questions posed to Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye. What follows is an edited transcript of that conversation.
Johnson: It is our great honor to have with us today Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye. When confirmed in 2011, she became the first Asian-Filipina American, and only the second woman Chief Justice of California’s Supreme Court.
We’d first like to say a few words about the Chief Justice’s background. She was born in Sacramento, the fourth child of first generation Asian-American farmworkers. She received both her undergraduate degree (with honors) in rhetoric and law degree at U.C. Davis, and during school, she supported herself by waitressing. Her first law job was as a deputy district attorney in Sacramento. She then served in two senior positions for Governor Deukmejian: first, as his deputy legal affairs secretary, and then as his deputy legislative secretary. In 1990, she was appointed to the Sacramento Municipal Court, and in 1997, was elevated to the Superior Court. There, Justice Cantil-Sakauye established the first Sacramento court dedicated to domestic violence issues.
