Bill MorrowAdvisorMost ten-year old boys want to be firemen, football players, and astronauts when they grow up. But Senator Bill Morrow wanted to be... well, a senator. After studying and reporting on the Civil Rights Movement in his fifth grade class, he knew that he wanted to make a difference in his country for the better, and not just in a supportive role. He wanted to be in the center of the action, where history is made and the future is changed for the better. And he has been. And he still is. In 2006, Morrow resigned after 14 years of service in the legislature, first as a California Assemblyman in 1992, and then as Senator in 1998. During his time in office, he left a significant legacy that included groundbreaking legislation and major reforms. In 2004 the Conference of Delegates of the California Bar Association bestowed Senator Morrow their Legislator of the Year Award for serving justice by improving the law and, in September 2006, the statewide tort reform association known as the Civil Justice Association of California declared Morrow "the Legislature's strongest legal reform supporter of the past decade. Morrow began his law career with the Marine Corps, Chief Defense Counsel and Chief Trial Counsel (prosecutor), trying hundreds of felony criminal cases in military courts-martial. He then practiced civil litigation in San Diego country prior to political office. He has a degree in political science from UCLA, and a juris doctorate from Pepperdine University School of Law. |
