A profile of SF Superior Court judicial candidate Thomas Mellon Jr. featured a quote by partner Kenneth Ward, who litigated a jury trial before Mellon.

Lauding Mellon’s hard work ethic, Ward said, “We have a system today where people don’t necessarily work until 5, and the idea that a judge is going to come on his day off and spend a whole day so that a jury can deliberate… I just can’t conceive of another judge doing that.”
