CA Bar #: 232667 (November 2004)

Appointed By: Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr.

Biography

Overview

The Hon. Stacy P. Speiller is a judge for the Stanislaus County Superior Court in California[1]. Speiller was appointed to the bench by former Governor Jerry Brown in November 2017, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of Nan C. Jacobs[2].

Her assignments have included the civil department, where in 2019 she handled civil cases, probate estates and trusts, civil harassment matters, and name-change petitions[3]. Speiller's judicial service has also included work as assistant presiding judge in civil and probate, as well as service as appellate presiding judge[1][3].

Educational background

Speiller earned a B.A. from Brandeis University. At the University of Florida Levin College of Law, she completed a J.D. She was admitted to the State Bar of California (November 2004).

Career history

After her admission to the bar, Speiller began private practice as an associate at E.F. Cash-Dudley (2004 to 2009). Speiller later became a partner at Cash-Dudley Speiller and Torres PLC (2010 to 2017). During those years, she was a certified family law specialist. At the time of her selection, she was identified as the youngest person ever appointed to a judgeship in Stanislaus County[2].

Personal life

In explaining her decision to pursue law, Speiller said she wanted to work in a practice area that would help people[4]. She also said that her move to California was shaped by the state's dairy industry[4]. Outside the courtroom, she and her family have lived in Oakdale, which she described as offering a small-town atmosphere, a good school system, and proximity to her work in Modesto[4].

Speiller is registered as a Democrat[5].
