(Subscription required) Sacramento Superior Court judge traces her career from marrying 50 couples in 2004 to presiding over complex trials.

A minor could not, by virtue of an action brought by her father as guardian ad litem, disaffirm an arbitration agreement that had been signed by the mother on the child’s behalf, Div. Three of the Fourth District Court of Appeal has declared.

Div. One of this district’s Court of Appeal has held that a woman who was convicted of aiding and abetting her then-boyfriend in the murder of her family members in 2000, when she was 16 years old, was properly denied resentencing based on a finding that she acted with an intent to kill.

The Sixth District Court of Appeal has held that trial judge erred in sustaining a demurrer, without leave to amend, to a complaint alleging whistleblower retaliation and related claims against the County of Santa Clara stemming from the plaintiff’s cooperation with an investigation into unlawful conduct on the part of the then-sheriff.
