KEYNOTE ADDRESS: A CONVERSATION WITH CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CAROL A. CORRIGAN
Panelists: Cheryl Lee Johnson and Kathleen Tuttle1
For the fourth 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 Associate Justice Carol A. Corrigan. 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 Justice Corrigan. What follows is an edited transcript of that conversation.
MS. JOHNSON: It is our great honor to have with us today California Supreme Court Justice Carol Ann Corrigan. A few words about the Justice’s background. She was born in Stockton, the only child of a librarian and a Stockton Record newspaper reporter. The first in her family to receive a college degree, she graduated magna cum laude from the all-girls Holy Names College (now, University) in Oakland, where she was the Student Body President and received the Founders Medal. She briefly pursued a doctoral program in clinical psychology at St. Louis University, before the law called. She attended U.C. Hastings Law School where she was the Notes and Comments Editor of the Hastings Law Journal. After receiving her JD in 1975, she worked twelve years as a deputy district attorney for Alameda County, the last two as a Senior Deputy.
In 1987, she was appointed to the Alameda County Municipal Court bench and in 1991, was elevated to the Alameda Superior Court. Three years later, in 1994, Governor Pete Wilson nominated our honored guest to the California Court of Appeal, where she served for twelve years. During that time, she also served on a number of judicial administrative bodies, including the California Judicial Council, which determines policies for the entire state court system. Then-ChiefJustice Ron George selected her to lead the Judicial Council Task Force on Jury Instructions, and she devoted ten years to rewriting the state’s jury instructions into plain English. She received the 2003 California Judicial Council Jurist of the Year award, in part, for her relentless efforts reforming the state’s jury instructions.
