Justice Betty Dawson was born in Minnesota and moved to California as a child with her family in search of better economic opportunities. She grew up in Santa Rosa, California, and was not a good student in school. She married her high school sweetheart, but the marriage did not last. She met her current husband, Robert Haden, through her brother and they traveled around South America together. She was dared by Robert to finish her B.A. and go to law school, so she did. She attended Hastings Law School and graduated second in her class of 518 students. She was an extern at the California Supreme Court during the time when Rose Bird was appointed Chief Justice. She was a teaching fellow at Stanford Law School during the 1978-79 school year.

Arthur Gilbert, the Presiding Justice of Division Six of the California Court of Appeal, interviewed his friend and colleague, retired Associate Justice of Division Six of the Second District, California Court of Appeal, Paul Coffee, about his life and time on the court. Paul was born in Madera, California and was a fourth-generation native Californian. His father was a lawyer who graduated from Boalt Law School and his mother was an elementary school teacher. Paul was the student body president in high school and was the valedictorian of his class. He went to the University of California, Berkeley where he studied business administration with a concentration in insurance and real estate. He was in the Delta Upsilon fraternity and served in the Navy before going to Boalt Law School.

Retired Presiding Justice Arthur G. Scotland was being interviewed by Justice George Nicholson as part of the Judicial Council's Appellate Legacy Project. Scotland served on the Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, for more than 20 years, from 1989 to 2011. Nicholson and Scotland had a long history of working together, from the Governor's Office during the Deukmejian administration to the California Department of Justice to the Sacramento Superior Court. Scotland was born in Sacramento in 1946 and his father was a life insurance salesman. His mother, Tillie, worked for the Board of Equalization before staying home to care for her children. Scotland is known for his energy and enthusiasm, and his friends describe him as having a good and warm heart, being the hardest-working judge in the state capital, honest, fair, and a fierce competitor. Scotland is also a traveler, having gone to the Galapagos Islands and South America. When his mother was in critical condition, Scotland dropped everything and ran home to be with her, and he was able to hug her before she passed away. Scotland's grandparents and parents have been a major influence in his life, and have helped shape him into the person he is today.
