In addition, Acero successfully argued before the California Court of Appeals.


He received a B.A. in international business and psychology from California State University, San Diego in 1999. Acero went on to complete a J.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law in 2003. While a law student, he completed an internship at the University of California Office of General Counsel and also served as a summer law clerk at Nordman Cormany Hair & Compton LLP (2002).


Acero went on to represent the Regents of the University of California in litigation for twelve years.


His memberships have included the State Bar of California (Labor & Employment Law Section), the Sacramento County Bar Association, and the Cruz Reynoso Bar Association (president), formerly known as La Raza Lawyers of Sacramento.


Acero also served as vice-chair of the Board of the Foundation for California Community Colleges.
