Peter Belton was a staff attorney for California Supreme Court Justice Stanley Mosk. Born in 1933 in Antofagasta, Chile, Belton earned his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Harvard in 1956, taking a year off to recover from polio, and later graduated from Harvard Law in 1959. After a year teaching at Berkeley Law (formerly known as Boalt Hall), he worked as a law clerk for Justice B. Rey Schauer from 1960 to 1964, when he became Justice Mosk’s staff attorney. In this interview, Belton discusses his childhood in England and Canada, surviving polio in the fifties, law school as a disabled student, the Rose Bird era of the California Supreme Court, accessibility issues in both law and private life, and California accessibility regulation. This interview, which also includes an interview with Justice Stanley Mosk, is part of a group of interviews documenting the California State Supreme Court.
