Ronald Pritchard

Background

Ronald Pritchard was born in 1935. He was admitted to the California bar in 1972, and his professional life from that point centered on the practice of law in California.

Education

Pritchard's legal education is associated with Western State University. Western State was founded in 1966 in Orange County, California, and it describes itself as the oldest law school in that county. By 1990 it had expanded to three California campuses in Fullerton, Irvine, and San Diego, and in 1995 its San Diego campus became the independent Thomas Jefferson School of Law.

The school's later history included incorporation as a college of Argosy University in 2012. It now operates as Western State College of Law at Westcliff University, which acquired it in 2019.

Career

Pritchard practiced law as a partner of Farano and Kieviet. In American law firms, a partner shares in the ownership and management of the practice alongside other partners, and the partnership structure allowed senior lawyers to direct client work and the firm's operations.

His professional career as a lawyer followed his admission to the California bar in 1972, the year that also marks the beginning of his work with the firm. The firm's office was in Riverside, California, where Pritchard practiced as a partner.
