Before she turned to law and became one of the youngest justices ever appointed to the California Supreme Court, Leondra Kruger had journalism in her blood.
retiring Justice Stephen Breyer
"I see her as cautious in her use of judicial power," said David Ettinger, a Los Angeles attorney who is an expert on the California Supreme Court. "I think she's concerned about digging into the details of legal issues, rather than letting ideological predilections determine the outcome of the case."
Democratic former California Governor Jerry Brown named Kruger to the top court in the most populous U.S. state in 2014 when she was age 38. Kruger's former colleagues, both Democrat and Republican, praised the move. Paul Clement, who served as U.S. solicitor general under Republican former President George W. Bush, said at the time, "She combines an understated and easygoing manner with a keen legal mind and unquestioned integrity.
"My approach reflects the fact that we operate in a system of precedent," Kruger told the Los Angeles Times in 2018. "I aim to perform my job in a way that enhances the predictability and stability of the law and public confidence and trust in the work of the courts."
