AFTER GRADUATING FROM UC BERKELEY, SMITH gained experience in the US Army from 1955 to 1957. He then attended Loyola Law School. In a moot court competition, Smith gave the best oral argument. Smith practiced as a lawyer for a period of time, became an Alhambra Municipal Court Judge, and then a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge. While he was a Municipal Court Judge, one of his cases made history. Smith issued a pretrial gag order to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial. The Court of Appeal upheld the validity of Smith's gag order for the first time. In 1979, Judge Smith presided over a death penalty trial without a jury. Both sides-defense and prosecution had to place enormous trust in Smith because Smith's ruling was a Undeterred 193 Author after climbing Thumb Butte Mountain, 2003 Undeterred_2 6/26/13 8:14 PM Page 193 matter of life and death for the accused.

By happenstance, in early 1987 the two of us attended a CJER conference and ended up having dinner together. It's a beautiful story told with grace and wonderful details.. Very nice read with lots of insight on bringing up complexions, personality development, relationships and perception of the world/God. Less well-known also is the fact that at one time, Pete was the only judge in the county who tried death-penalty bench trials. In RESCUED BY A COW AND A SQUEEZE, Mary Carpenter tells the story of her unique life through stunning anecdote and lucid prose. The title should have been, "Photography Products for Dummies". Buy me one of those for Xmas, please.
Check them out when you are in San Francisco.. I bought this book from Amazon.con after seeing posters of his prints (The Pagoda in Moonlight and the Benton Shrine over a lillies pond).
I also saw his framed woodblock prints in Japantown in San Francisco. It would mean retiring five years before he could collect
