My dad died when I was four years old. My mother raised all of us. I lived in what is commonly known as the barrio where it's 100 percent Mexican-American or Mexicano or Raza or Chicano. Most of the families were migrant families. And the Justices here from Wisconsin and the State of Colorado, I think, are probably aware of the plight of the migrant and the Chicano migrant .... In the small towns of America and the State of California, they had no one to resort to except the lawyer that was representing the Chamber of Commerce or the farmer or the farm corporation, the fellow that would hesitate to take a case because once having taken it, he would lose the business of the commercial people. And so the migrant had no recourse whatever. The only way he knew the courts and the court systems and the lawyers was when he was a defendant in a criminal case, when the police were out there serving him with warrants when he was arrested for minor and petty offenses.

  • USCCR Statement on the Passing of Cruz Reynoso
    STATEMENT OF THE U.S. COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS ON THE PASSING OF FORMER USCCR VICE CHAIR CRUZ REYNOSO May 18, 2021 The United States Commission on Civil Rights mourns the passing of Cruz Reynoso, former Vice Chair of the Commission and first Latino California State Supreme Court Justice. Born in Brea on May 2, 1931, Cruz Reynoso’s family immigrated to the U.S. during the counterrevolutions in Mexico; he was one of 11 children. His decades long career in advocacy began as a teenager in rural La Habra, Orange County California when a young Reynoso petitioned the U.S. Postmaster to change policy and start delivering mail to Mexican families in their neighborhood. This change, he is quoted as saying to a historian, “was sort of a confirmation of what I was reading in our textbooks -- that we are a democracy.”1 Reynoso rose from a child worker in the fields and orchards of southern California to become the first Latino California Supreme Court Justice. He earned an associate degree from Fullerton College in 1951 and a bachelor’s degree from Pomona College in 1953. After two years in the Army, he entered UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall Law School and graduated in 1958. Cruz Reynoso was extremely well-known in California as co-founder of the California Rural Legal Aid, the first statewide legal aid in the U.S. While at CRLA, he served as Legal Director and was responsible for securing the rights of many low-income clients, including field workers seeking access to sanitary facilities, farmworkers exposed to carcinogenic pesticides such as DDT.

Miller* INTRODUCTION Over the past half century, California has been a battleground for conflicts over the nature, scope, and limits of rights. While Americans have always clashed over rights, the modern rights revolution has expanded the conflict throughout the country, and nowhere more than in California. These struggles have been hard fought, because rights have power. Once an interest is converted into a right, it can trump competing interests that lack the status of right. The ability to recognize, create, or limit rights is consequential, indeed.1 California’s prominence in these conflicts can be traced to several factors. First, the state has deep ideological divides. California is home to progressive social movements that have sought to establish new rights in areas including abortion, capital punishment, criminal procedure, school funding, gay rights, aid-in-dying, and more—and home, as well, to highly motivated conservative groups that have resisted many of these changes. Second, California exists within a federal system that allows states to innovate in the area of rights. State constitutional rights operate semi-independently of the U.S. Constitution—that is, states may define state constitutional 37526 chp_19-1 Sheet No. 82 Side A 03/15/2016 15:53:04 rights more expansively than the Federal Constitution requires. An assertive state supreme court, through state constitutional interpretation, can establish new rights. The California Supreme Court, more than any other state court, has expanded state constitutional rights beyond federal minimums.2 Third, citizens of California have extraordinary power to counter their state supreme court, through state constitutional amendment or * Associate Professor of Government, Claremont McKenna College.
