Fostering collaboration and connection among people and groups, Pauline brings together differing viewpoints to work for the common good. A small sampling of her volunteer groups include: Asian Bar Association of Sacramento, California Commission on Access to Justice, California Judicial Council, California Women Lawyers, National Center for Women and Family Law, State Bar of California, Foundation of the State Bar of California, Yuba-Sutter Bar Association and Women in Legal Services. Through her many accomplishments, Pauline continues to inspire and expand the capacity of hundreds of people to do extraordinary work for disenfranchised and low-income people. Friends of Benchmark Institute joined Celebration 2002 for a conversational interview with Pauline conducted by Rosemary French.
