Bio:BV Distinguished | I was born and raised in the Seattle area, where I come from a family of doctors. Despite this background, I never had any aspirations of pursuing a career in medicine. But my family did instill me with a strong sense of idealism which has never left me. At first, I wanted to be a mental health counselor, so I earned a Bachelor degree in psychology. Upon graduating in 1979, I naively volunteered to intern at the Utah State Mental Health Hospital in Provo, Utah. The hospital assigned me to the forensic unit where I worked with serious criminal offenders to determine their competency top stand trial. Among those I worked with were a serial rapist, a college student who had shot his roommate to death in a spat over ice cream, and a 60 year-old child molester who claimed to hear voices in his head. Within days of starting my internship, it quickly became apparent that I was the person whose sanity should be questioned and my idealism turned to cynicism and I lost all desire of becoming a clinical psychologist. Eventually, my idealism recovered and I decided on law as a career. I wanted to help develop the law to make it more accessible and responsive to the needs of ordinary people, as well as to use the law as a tool to implement social change and justice. With this in mind, I entered law school in 1981 and obtained my law degree in 1984. Almost immediately after graduating, I was hired as a legal analyst by the Administrative Office of the Courts
