Denise vividly remembers her firstnight in Judge Oliver Wanger’s CivilProcedure class. She thought she wasprepared to discuss the case when hecalled on her to brief. She had barelybegun when he started asking herquestions she couldn’t answer. At thatpoint she realized law school wasgoing to be a whole different ballgame.

She also remembers her buddy, LindaRousse, and the fun they had in class.

In one course, they made a list of thebizarre similes and metaphors theprofessor used in his lectures. Onenight in Criminal Law, they had themisfortune of being seated in front ofno-nonsense Professor Judge DennisCaeton. He began a very serious – andgraphic – lecture on one’s expectationof privacy in a public restroom wherethe stalls had no doors. “We swallowedso much laughter that night it hurt.”

Timothy HartTim Hart continued as the Director/Chair of the Tulare/Kings CountiesPolice Academy and as Professor in theAdministration of Justice and ParalegalDepartment at College of the Sequoiasfor several years after graduating fromSJCL.

though he, too, is now teaching atCART. They enjoy traveling, fre-quently to Mexico and recently toHawaii. Linda also likes to read asmuch as she can, often Englishmysteries. She is active in their churchand with Infant of Prague.

Linda remembers law school as beinga whole lot of fun. After teachingEnglish and drama for so many years,the analytical part of her brain had notbeen used much and she enjoyedbringing it back to life.

Kenneth CavinKen worked briefly for a firm inStockton and then with PatriciaMattson-Markell upon graduatingfrom law school. Within a year he hadopened his own office handlingcriminal law and juvenile court cases.He serves as a judge pro tem in SmallClaims Court every month. Ken feelsthe practice of law can be veryfrustrating but the cases where he canreally make a difference make it worththe effort. He is extremely happy withthe practice niche he has created forhimself.

Ken and his wife have 3 children, a17-year-old son, a 21-year-old son,and a 25-year-old daughter. The 21-year-old works in Ken’s office, cantype faster than Ken speaks, and is awizard at webpage design. Ken stillssings and plays the guitar. The familyhas spent the last seven Christmases inMaui and loves it.

Ken remembers being in a panic thefirst month of law school, absolutelycertain he would fail. Moot Court inthe second year seemed to be theturning point; after that, things goteasier. Ken remembers great classeswith Denise Kerner, Ed Oeser, PaulHerbert, Jan Pearson, and Judge Caeton.Judge Caeton had a knack for gettingthe class to go wild by introducinghighly controversial topics.

Thefollowing two years, he worked for theMerced District Attorney’s officeprosecuting domestic violence andchild abuse cases.

Theoffice represents not only the City ofMadera but also the PlanningCommission, the Housing Authority,the Redevelopment Agency, and theCivil Service Commission.

Mike is still single. He is an enthusias-tic fan of the San Francisco Giants and

the Fresno Grizzlies. He also likes toattend as many jazz festivals as possible.

Like most members of the class of1993, he remembers the camaraderieof the class. He says that otherstudents and staff were always therefor you. He says you can’t understandthe law school experience unless you’vebeen there, but classmates alwayspropped each other up. He has fondmemories of his study group - PeterCummings, Juliana Gmur, and TonyRatkus.

Marina GonzalesImmediately upon passing the bar,Marina opened her own law office.Initially, she handled both family lawand criminal law cases.

Sandra Lee Gravano“I really like going to court!” So saysSandi Gravano, implying that shewould never have expected that whenshe was going to law school. Upongraduation, Sandi continued to workfor the Educational Employees CreditUnion while simultaneously doingcontract work for Tim Magill. She alsotried operating her own practice forawhile. In November of 1997 shewent to work for the Family LawDivision of the Merced DistrictAttorney’s Office. Her financialbackground made her particularlyuseful in that role.

Sandi remembers that her class wasmostly adults also working full-time.They provided a support system for

SJCL Inter Alia 11

each other which she says wasabsolutely critical to their survival.

Tim MazzelaTim has run his own practice sinceleaving law school and passing the bar.His cases are almost exclusivelyplaintiff ’s personal injury matters,especially premises liability andproducts liability cases. In thatenvironment Tim says he continues tolearn every day.

Tim married Lynette two years agoand now she is his office manager.Their family includes a stepson,12-year-old Taylor, and a15-month-old daughter, Jordan.

They like to snow and water ski,although most of their free time nowis spent just hanging out with the baby.

Tim found law school to be verychallenging but always rewarding. Heremembers the camaraderie of the class– everyone had something to offer.His study group – John Devlin, MarkDosher, Darryl Freedman, WesHammond, Kyle McCarty - wasforever butting heads but alwayslearned from it.

Karen McCarterFresh out of law school, Karen openeda mediation practice, McCarter &Knight. Discovering mediation as analternative to the adversary system,Karen says, kept her in law school. Shedeveloped a successful practice thatwas a mix of civil and family lawissues. Shortly, however, Karen felt shehad to return to her real love, workingthe land.

In 1998, Karen, along with four otherunrelated adults, bought 100 acres ofland in northern California, across theborder from Ashland, Oregon. Theyestablished a community of farmers –focussing principally on growingorganic vegetable and flower seeds.The valley in which the farm is locatedis ideal – beautiful and isolated – aperfect place to protect open pollinat-ing plants from cross-pollination.

Soon, Karen’s community beganoffering a home to a series of fosterchildren. They are now in the processof adopting one and becoming thelegal guardians of two others. Thecommunity environment – with noTV or newspapers – lets young peopleget better in touch with themselvesand other people, Karen thinks. “Youlearn to be able to take care of andentertain yourself.”

The community now raises vegetables,chickens, ducks, and cattle as well ascontinuing the seed business. Ofcourse, they also raise most of theirown food. Now they are hoping acouple of seniors will join the commu-nity to round it out— make it multi-generational.

Stanley TeixieraUpon passing the bar exam, Stanopened his own law office. In Januaryof 1997, he and Michael Dias formeda partnership with an office inHanford. In 2000, Stan returned to asolo practice. His work emphasizesestate and corporate matters. He likesthe freedom of controlling his ownschedule. On occasion, Stan workswith canon law and has served as anexpert in that area.

Stan and his partner, “computer-nerd”Cliff, are parents to two poundrescues, Fresno the cat and Tule thedog. They enjoy camping andtraveling all over the country (Boston,Florida, Michigan) to visit friends.Stan is a founding member andSecretary of Pathways – the Founda-tion for United Cerebral Palsy ofCentral California.

Stan remembers law school as anightmare – working and going toschool. He says life is much morerelaxed now. “The professors comeback to haunt you periodically.”

Patricia WilliamsPatti worked as a clerk at the LawOffices of Sarah Schmidt during lawschool, then became an associate withthat firm after graduation. For three

years there she worked on insurancefraud cases and coverage opinions. Sheopened her own office for a briefperiod focussing on estate planning,then joined the Law Offices of HarryPascuzzi. Since September of 1999,she has worked as a Research Attorneyfor the Fresno County Superior Court.She enjoys this new role acting as theneutral in legal disputes and trying todetermine the “right” answer.

Patti lives with two pampered dogs –Tawny, a Sharpei, and Greta, aShepherd mix. She remembersenjoying law school. It was her mostchallenging intellectual experience,and the first time her education madesense and offered something she couldactually use in real life. It wasn’t untilthe fourth year that she could hardlywait to be finished. She made relation-ships in law school that will lastforever.

Glenn WilsonFresh out of law school, Glenn workedwith attorney Richard Cenci in federalsecurities fraud litigation whilecontinuing to work for the FresnoPolice Department. In 1996, heretired from the police force and wentto work for West Group. In 2000,Glenn opened his own practice doingfamily and criminal law.
