You can't make this up. All the judges on the Texas 7th Court of Appeals are Texas Tech grads. . . .

Is there any other law school in the area?

Are there any lawyers sitting on benches in the Bay Area who didn't go to Cal or Stanford?

The question "list san mateo county superior court judges alma maters" causes Google AI to return the names of four judges. They attended law school at University of San Diego Law School, University of California Law School, Harvard Law School, and University of North Carolina Law School. The same question for Santa Clara County yields 3 judges from University of Santa Clara Law School, 1 from Stanford Law School, 1 from University of San Francisco Law School, and 1 from Ohio State. If there is that much geographic diversity in two fairly "typical" Bay Area counties, I am pretty sure it is present in others. I wouldn't be surprised if California law schools appear frequently, but as this sample shows Kal and Stanford are far from ubiquitous.

I asked ChatGPT for a list of SFBA judges that did not attend either Stanford or Cal for undergrad or law school. The returns:

Federal appellate and district courts; 12 judges
California Supreme Court/1st District Court of Appeal; 13 judges
Superior courts in all SFBA counties: harder to find, they don't all publish undergrad or law school alma maters, but looks to be "dozens."
