At The Lectern by Horvitz & Levy

“Why is there a California Supreme Court Historical Society?”

Former Court of Appeal Justice Daniel Kolkey, president of the California Supreme Court Historical Society, writes in the Daily Journal about the Society’s mission. (I serve on the Society’s board of directors.)

Kolkey explains that the Society “was founded in 1989 as a non-profit public benefit corporation dedicated to recovering, preserving, and promoting California’s legal and judicial history, and particularly that of our state Supreme Court.  The Society serves the interests of the bench and bar, the academic community, and the general public through its publications, educational programs, and support of scholarly research.”
