Notes: Kathleen Kelly spent her formative early years in the Coachella Valley and then ventured east to attend Yale University for college and then U.C. Berkeley’s Boalt Hall for Law School. She practiced employment law in San Francisco before joining the full-time faculty at McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific, in Sacramento, where she taught for 17 years and served as Academic Dean. Concurrently, Kathleen served as a neutral arbitrator and mediator resolving conflicts. This work extended over 30 years and addressed a wide range of public policy disputes, including placement of safety net services for the homeless and proper engineering of sidewalks to accommodate the disabled.
