The California Appellate Court Legacy Project is an interview with two former justices, Steve Stone and Arthur Gilbert, about their colleague, Justice Richard Abbe. Abbe was a district attorney in Shasta County who was opposed to the death penalty and marijuana laws, and had strong views on the environment and politics. He had a unique childhood, as his father was a famous international photographer. Stone and Gilbert met Abbe for the first time at their confirmation hearing in 1982, and he was known for his mismatched clothing and long beard. Abbe was known for his independent thinking and disdain for fame. He slept in Rose Bird's chambers while looking for a place to live and once got lost in the stairwell of a building while going for a run. The three of them had the first day of oral argument in Santa Barbara, which was a big deal for the northern counties.

Richard Abbe was a Justice of the Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Six, appointed by Governor Brown Jr. in 1982. Prior to this, he was a Judge of the Superior Court in Shasta County from 1965-1982, and a District Attorney and Deputy District Attorney from 1959-1965. He was admitted to the California Bar in 1954 and earned his LL.B. in 1953 from Hastings College of the Law. He served in the US Navy during World War II from 1943-1946. He was married to Pauline Kirkpatrick in 1953 and had two children and two stepchildren. He was a Democrat and enjoyed playing tennis, bicycling, birding, skiing, and reading.
