Spearheaded by Daniel M. Kolkey, a former Associate Justice on the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, and former Counsel to the Governor of California, Gibson Dunn’s California Appellate Practice Group has prepared the attached California Supreme Court Mid-Year Round-Up, which previews upcoming cases and summarizes select opinions issued by the Court. This edition includes opinions issued from January through August 2015. Each entry contains a description of the case, as well as a substantive analysis of the Court’s decision.

Gibson Dunn’s Appellate and Constitutional Law Practice Group is one of the nation’s leading appellate practices. The preeminence of the group is underscored by its placement on The National Law Journal‘s 2014 Appellate Hot List, which recognizes law firms that demonstrated “outstanding achievements before the U.S. Supreme Court, federal circuit courts and state courts of last resort.” The American Lawyer awarded its 2014 Litigation Department of the Year Finalist honors to Gibson Dunn, following the firm’s unprecedented back-to-back wins as the publication’s 2010 and 2012 Litigation Department of the Year. The publication took particular note of our “revered Supreme Court practice” and “superb” appellate lawyers.
Gibson Dunn has a strong and high-profile presence before the California Supreme Court, appearing numerous times in the past decade in a variety of cases. The firm’s California practice has been recognized by Benchmark Litigation, which named Gibson Dunn its 2015 Appellate Firm of the Year and California Litigation Firm of the Year. In addition, Law360 named the firm to its 2015 California Powerhouse list, noting that with the firm’s “deep California roots and penchant for tackling high-stakes matters, Gibson Dunn has helped shape the Golden State economy and legal landscape by notching landmark trial victories, blazing a trail in appellate work and steering multibillion-dollar transactions.”
