Deputy public defenders Micael Estremera and Kelley Paul, and Court Commissioner Rebeca Esquivel-Pedroza join the bench after their gubernatorial appointments this month.
SAN JOSE — The three latest additions to the Santa Clara County Superior Court bench all come from steeped public service backgrounds and strong local roots.
“My family is deeply committed to community service,” Estremera said. “It’s what I’ve done for most of my career as a public defender.”“I have been in courtrooms my entire career, and served my community from the courtroom for most of my career. That’s afforded me a breadth of perspective that I hope is valuable,” Estremera said.
In addition to his work in the public defender’s office, Estremera was briefly an attorney with the county counsel’s office and, after law school, worked at the former San Francisco-based firm Thelen LLP. He lives in San Jose, where he is married with two children.Paul, 49, was born and raised in Sunnyvale, and is an alumna of Homestead High School, San Jose State University and the Santa Clara University School of Law.
“I’m a single mom of three girls, I’ve grown up in this community,” Paul said. “I’m able to know the issues better, I’m able to relate better because of those experiences.”
