Reviews
... mavervlous. Tuttle's book is crisply written, well organized and meticulously researched. Lawyers of Los Angeles is greatly enhanced by many photographs, which often help illuminate decades-old events and their leading protagonists. Seeking to explain and bring to life the legal practice in a city as complex as Los Angeles over a span of 70 years is no easy task. Tuttle's book meets this challenge with alacrity, grace, and insight. After reading it, one emerges understanding not only Los Angeles but the world in which we live with new clarity. --Dan Grunfeld California Supreme Court Historical Society (6/30/2021 12:00:00 AM)
Author Information
Kathleen Tuttle, born and raised in Los Angeles County, is a Los Angeles lawyer who graduated from U.C. Berkeley School of Law in 1978, where she served on the law review. She began her career in Washington, D.C., with the law firm of Wald, Harkrader & Ross, and then took on Capitol Hill, first as counsel to the U.S. House Democratic Caucus and then as minority chief counsel to the U.S. Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. In 1986, Kathleen returned home to private law practice at Alschuler, Grossman & Pines, and later joined the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. In her first five years as a deputy district attorney, she prosecuted scores of jury trials involving violent crime before being named Deputy-in-Charge of the office's Antitrust Section. Kathleen has assumed leadership roles in both the California Supreme Court Historical Society and the Chancery Club, where she became president in 2020. Her writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle; this is her third book. She lives and writes in Pasadena.
