Court of Appeal,
Description
On January 27, 1919, LA Bloom was admitted to practice law in the 2nd District (Covering Los Angeles) District Court of Appeal. California has three level of courts: trial courts (made up, in 1919, of Municipal and Superior Courts, Courts of Appeal, there were probably 10 or so Districts at the time and they handled appellate cases only, and the California Supreme Court, which handled appellate matters. He was likely admitted to other Districts or other courts as well, but the fact that he was admitted to a Court of Appeal likely meant that he handled appellate matters, but it might also simply be that at that time, membership in the Court of Appeal (in his geographic location) simply gave him membership throughout the state of California. It is noteworthy, that this is before the full family moved to California, which occurred sometime while Ethel was pregnant with Hi sometime from May, 1920 to his birth on February 14, 1921.
It may also be noteworthy, that although California became a state in 1849 and had a court system, California laws were not codified until 1872, which means that his membership in the California bar occurred 17 years after the first law in California was codified.
