Justice John G. Gabbert had a remarkable legal career, spanning most of the 20th century. He attended college at Riverside Junior College, Occidental College, and Duke University, and finished his law degree at Boalt Hall, Berkeley. He was awarded a scholarship to Duke, but was persuaded by his father to attend Berkeley instead. He was interviewed as part of the California Appellate Court Legacy Project, which is creating an oral history of the appellate courts in California.
