Judge Thelton Henderson’s retirement from the U.S. District Court this summer after 37 years of service will be an occasion of both sadness and joy. Sadness because his quiet, empathetic voice of reason will be significant loss to the judiciary; joy because it will provide an opportunity to celebrate his legacy.
I met Thelton in the summer of 1966. He had just been hired to run a legal services office in East Palo Alto, and I was about to begin my final year at Stanford Law School. I worked with Thelton in that office, first as a student volunteer and then as a young attorney until he left to establish Stanford Law School’s minority admissions program. Thelton has been a mentor, role model, and friend for 50 years.
