Chief Justice Issues Statement on Passing of Justice Edward Panelli

Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero issued a statement on Justice Edward Panelli, who passed away Saturday at age 92. Justice Panelli served on the California Supreme Court from 1985 to 1994:

Justice Edward Panelli served with honor and integrity over a long legal career and as a distinguished member of our California Supreme Court. His unwavering commitment to justice and fairness was rooted in his humble upbringing as the child of immigrants, earning him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and the broader legal community. I extend our deepest condolences to Justice Panelli's family and friends as we mourn the loss of a great jurist and beloved member of our court. His memory and impact on the legal community will endure."
