While working as a Los Angeles County deputy district attorney in the 1980s, Kenneth R. Freeman “fell in love with trials and juries and lawyers, and just the whole system that is associated with the trial,” he said during an interview. “So when the time came to consider whether or not I wanted to be a judge, first of all, I had to decide: ‘Do I mind giving up being an advocate?’”
“I never got tired of it,” he said.
