Justice Gerald Brown served on the California Appellate Court for over 20 years and was the Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal. During his time on the court, he worked to create a system where writs could be handled quickly and efficiently, so that justice would not be delayed. He was appointed to the court by Governor Pat Brown after a two week process. Justice Brown found his work on the court to be much easier than his work as a trial lawyer, as he no longer had to work 14 hour days.
