,;JJ Jeffrey Koch, clcputy attorney general, was a deputy district attorney when Na- res was at the trial level. Koch said the justice was consistent in his rulings and al- lowed counsel and litigants time to pre- sent their sides. "I never found him arbitrary or capri- cious," Koch said. "But once he makes a ruling and the attorney starts arguing, he'll cut you off." Defense attorney Bill Fletcher said Na- res is less brusque now than when he first joined the bench. ''He is interested in making sure things run smoothly, but his courtroom was not formal," said Fletcher, adding that Nares allowed litigants speak freely and "often commented from the bench, 'I love a good story.' " Stacks of papers and magazines arc neatly piled on Narcs' desk, the floor and adjacen t bookshelves. The stacks are di- viclcd according to importance, carrying labels "must read now," '"should read" and "'would like to read." 'Ther ' So Much to ead' "There's w much to read," he said with a laugh .

think ofmyself as organized.,• Nares, who describes himself as a ''prudent person," was prudent even at a young age, not the type who has to be hounde~ into feeding the dog he begged to get. Whde rn elementary school in Ocean- side, Nar~s rel urned all of his library books on time as "part of the responsibil- ity of having my own card." He also said he decided on a career _when he watched political conventions. "I Just had an in te_rest in watching those thm~s _on telcv1s1on," Nares said, admit- trn~ !t ,s unusual for a young boy to enjoy politics. "I was very impressed with the people I heard speak and they were Jaw. yers. f made up my mind then to p1 1rsue law and never wavered." Aft~r graduatmg from the Univerll_!ty of San V1e~rn 1~64 with a oachelo1 •~ etc:-· gree m economics and philosophy, Narcs earn~d his la~ degree there in 1967.

same community in which he grew up and where his parents still live. All of his jobs as attorney and judge have been close to his home on the beach in Oceanside, 30 miles north of San Diego. It seems fitting to discuss his love of California and the ocean on a warm morn- ing in Nares' sunny chambers in down- town San Diego. The justice smiles frequently and talks easily, clearly satis- fied with his chosen career. A sell-de- scribed "people person," Nares says he hasn't felt isolated in his eight months at Division One of the 4th District Court of Appeal. •' I always wanted to do something with books," Nares explained. "I thought the library was a tranquil place - I still have a great affection for libraries.'• His new job suits him. The walls are covered with books and his office is only a mile from the beach. He spends his days researching legal issues and discussing them with his colleagues on the court. In his first opinion, Nares reversed the conviction of a man charged with attempt- ed murder and other felonies . He found that the lower court "erred in failing to tell the jury the crime of attempted mur- der requires proof of express malice and a The opinion was important because the justice found the error to be prejudicial, said the defense attorney, Jerome Wallingford. "Nares tries hard to be fa:r," he said. "He knows the law and follows it and he'll reverse a case that has to be reversed - ho.didn't go fishing to avoid a reversal."

"Insurance companies must have a reasonable economic incentive to pay deserving claims," said Steve Barrow, l~!!r llwH.Jniversity or San Di Center for Pub- lic r s raw.
