Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday again reached into the ranks of his own staff and big law alumni to fill some of the last remaining judicial vacancies in California trial courts.

Brown named his deputy legal affairs secretary, Daniel Calabretta, to the Sacramento County Superior Court. Prior to joining the governor’s office in 2013, Calabretta was a deputy attorney general for five years and an associate at Munger, Tolles & Olson between 2005 and 2008. He was also a law clerk for former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.
