Judicial Profile: Michael Garcia '74
The Honorable Michael Garcia '74 was profiled in The Recorder on March 27, 2007. Garcia was appointed to the Sacramento County Superior by Governor George Deukmejian in 1989.
"The wonderful thing about being a lawyer and now a judge is that in a very, very short period of time, you get to explore something entirely new, entirely different, that you may not have known before," Garcia said in the profile. "Or explore a nuance of a concept you already knew about, and have to become very, very proficient at in a very short period of time. That's what attracts me to the job. I have my 20 years [of service] in. I could walk away tomorrow. But I'm here because I want to be here."
