A group of 46 California law professors—including several prominent deans and former deans—have issued a letter opposing the campaign to recall Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky.

Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Irvine School of Law; Herma Hill Kay, former dean of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law; and Bryant Garth, former dean of Southwestern Law School, are among the legal academics who called judicial recalls “a serious threat to the rule of law.”
