He has litigated matters from inception through appeal, with expertise in insurance-related litigation, products liability, commercial contract disputes and professional liability. Cronthall served two terms on the board of the Association of Business Trial Lawyers and also serves on the board of Public Counsel. Q: What is the most challenging case you have worked on and what made it challenging? A: My partner Scott Sveslosky and I handled a complex marine insurance coverage case that required extensive travel to several countries that are not signatories to the Hague Convention. It was a supreme challenge to arrange and take the depositions of dozens of third-party and party-affiliated witnesses located halfway around the globe, especially since our adversaries moved to quash all depositions that were potentially adverse. On two occasions, motions to quash and thereby prevent key depositions were brought on the eve of our departure overseas, which created uniquely challenging legal and practical dilemmas. For example, one of the depositions was to occur at an Indonesian prison. After numerous discovery motions and appellate proceedings, we prevailed on these issues and were permitted to use all of the testimony we obtained overseas.

Once judges stop loving lawyers, they become very sure of themselves. When judges become very sure of them- selves they stop being good judges. Judges who are sure of them- selves have little use for lawyers. Piero Calamandrei, in Eulogy of Judges,' speaks with great eloquence of the relationship between judges and lawyers: There are times in the career of every lawyer when, for- getting the niceties of the codes, the arts of oratory, the technique of debating, unconscious of... robes.., of the judges, he turns to the judges, looking into their eyes as into the eyes of an equal, and speaks to them in the sim- ple words a man uses to convince his fellow man of the truth.

The purpose of this project is to create an oral history of the appellate courts in our state through the voices and conversations with the retired justices throughout California. My name is Richard McAdams. I‘m an Associate Justice with the Sixth District Court of Appeal situated in San Jose. Today, it is my pleasure to have a conversation with Retired Justice Harry Brauer, retired from the Sixth District Court of Appeal. Harry Brauer: Obviously you don‘t have to introduce yourself to me, as we have both served in Santa Cruz. Richard McAdams: We spent many years together in your courtroom; and then as a colleague, when I was in municipal court, you were in superior court in Santa Cruz, and we have some history together. And today we get a chance to have a great conversation, everything about you: the immigrant experience, to talk about that; your rich educational background; your over 50 years in the legal community; and of course your reputation as an avid hiker and a mountain climber.

  • Jerry's Judges and the Politics of the Death Penalty
    California Supreme Court Historical Society 2010 Student Writing Competition Second Place Entry “Jerry’s Judges and the Politics of the Death Penalty: 1977-1982” Joseph Makhluf Graduate Student in History California State University, Northridge Jerry’s Judges and the Politics of the Death Penalty: 1977-1982 On February 12, 1977, California Governor Jerry Brown nominated Rose Elizabeth Bird as Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, making her the first female member of the Court.1 Along with Bird, Brown appointed Wiley W. Manuel as the first African American to serve on the Court.2 The Los Angeles Times wrote, “They are outstanding persons. They deserve confirmation. They bring the promise of new dimensions, new vitality, new qualities to a court already recognized as among the best.”3 Robert Pack wrote for the Los Angeles Times that with their nominations, “A genuine social revolution is taking place in Sacramento—bloodless, quiet and little discussed.”4 He further claimed, “Governor Edmund Brown Jr., not quite a thousand days in office, is slowly transferring power from the white, male elite groups where it has traditionally resided to the broader citizenry in California.”5 As of August 1, 1977, of 1,862 appointments by Governor Brown, 575 appointments went to women, 182 to Chicanos, 141 to blacks, 53 to Asians, 28 to American Indians, and nine to Filipinos, and he also appointed 65 consumer representatives to various boards and commissions. Jerry Brown‟s appointment of Rose Bird as the first female chief justice was immediately controversial, and she became the target of attacks from conservative groups who criticized her for being soft on crime.

  • December 6, 2012 To: David Martin, Planning Director From: Santa Monica
    December 6, 2012 To: David Martin, Planning Director From: Santa Monica Coalition for a Livable City Re: Request that City Submit a Comment Letter on the FEIR Objecting to Significant Traffic Impacts of the Casden Sepulveda Project on Santa Monica Dear Mr. Martin: As I mentioned to you last night, the City of Santa Monica has the opportunity and the obligation to comment upon the very serious traffic impacts on Santa Monica of a huge nearby proposed project –- the Casden project at Pico and Sepulveda in Los Angeles. As LUCE makes clear, transportation planning must be regional. Time is running out: Santa Monica has only 2 weeks to be heard. We urge you, on behalf of the City of Santa Monica, to review the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) released in November 2012 concerning the significant, unavoidable traffic impacts for the massive Casden project. Our LUCE sets forth the responsibility of Santa Monica to “collaborate with surrounding jurisdictions to seek appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the potential negative impacts on Santa Monica from projects in surrounding jurisdictions.” (Circulation Goal T15.4). This is especially so here, where as discussed below, this project FEIR estimates that the Casden project will generate 12,000 to 14,000 new daily vehicle trips at our doorstep. Our City must take this obligation seriously, as it did when it expressed its deep concerns about the unacceptable traffic impacts of the massive Bundy Village Project at Olympic and Bundy on 15 intersections bordering or within the City of Santa Monica. Santa Monica’s comments indicated where the impacts were too severe and would need mitigation and also required Santa Monica’s agreement on how traffic would be mitigated.

  • Governor Jerry Brown 2.0: Judicial Appointments, Now New and Improved
    Governor Jerry Brown 2.0: Judicial Appointments, Now New And Improved In this article we evaluate two points held by today’s conventional wisdom. One posits that Jerry Brown has, in his second stint as governor, been slow to fill judicial vacancies, and that there is an unusually high number of open judicial seats. The other is a suspicion that the judicial appointments by Governor Brown version 2.0 will be in the style of Governor Brown version 1.0. Our evaluation is that both theories are empirically less than true. (Recognizing that the first Governor Brown was Jerry Brown’s father Pat Brown, for convenience we will ignore that fact.) To the first point about vacancies, the available data does support several conclusions. The number of empty Superior Court seats in California began to increase significantly, coinciding with the beginning of the second Brown administration in January 2011. Presently, the average number of Superior Court vacancies since January 2011 is 63.5—compared with seven such vacancies in January 2011, the month the second Brown administration began. After an initial spike, the number of Superior Court vacancies has remained consistent over the course of Brown’s administration. But the available data does not strongly support the conclusion that the average number of vacancies is unusually high. Nor does it conclusively establish that the present Brown administration is slower or faster than other governors in filling vacancies. To the second point about appointee characteristics, there is no question that the justices appointed to the California Supreme Court during the first Brown administration were novel and in some cases controversial.
