Justice Traynor was often called one of the greatest judicial talents never to sit on the United States Supreme Court and was voted one of the nation's outstanding judges whenever his professional colleagues were polled.
He was named to the California court in 1940 and became Chief Justice in 1964, six years before his retirement. In that time he wrote over 900 opinions, many of them breaking new legal ground in areas ranging from discrimination to tax and contract law.
After his retirement, Justice Traynor led the way to stricter accountability for judges and tried to establish a strict ethics code. He also taught at the Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.
Among the precedent-setting opinions written by Judge Traynor, as he preferred to be called, was a 1948 ruling that California's law against interracial marriage violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, a decision that preceded by nearly two decades a similar decision by the United States Supreme Court. Judge Traynor also prefigured a Federal decision in 1955, when the California court held that the police could not use illegally obtained evidence.
