Judge Promotes New Services, Perspective
SAN JOSE - Katherine Lucero, the first Latina on the Santa Clara Superior Court bench, is used to blazing trails. The Woodland native, who grew up in Davis as the daughter of a migrant farm worker and a Mexican immigrant's son, was the first woman in her family to go to college - over her father's initial objections. She ended up as one of the few Hispanics at Syracuse Law School, before returning to California and landing a job at the Santa Clara County district attorney's office.
