San Francisco Hosts Multiple State And Federal Courts
|
2.1
Deputy general counsel Molly Lacob explains in a KQED segment why San Francisco contains clustered state and federal courts, tracing roots to California’s 1850 statehood and Congress’s creation of the Northern District of California. She cites San Francisco’s 19th-century status as political, population, and maritime hub, plus its unique city-and-county status, which concentrated county, appellate, and federal courthouses downtown.
