George )〕 ==Education and early career== Ron George grew up in Beverly Hills, the son of a Hungarian immigrant mother and French immigrant father. A 1957 graduate of Beverly Hills High School, George earned his B.A. from Princeton University in 1961 and his J.D. from Stanford Law School in 1964.〔〔 Upon graduating from Stanford, George was a Deputy California Attorney General from 1965–1972.〔 As a Deputy Attorney General, he argued unsuccessfully on behalf of the State of California before the United States Supreme Court in ''Chimel v. California'' in 1969.〔 The following year, he again represented California before the U.S. Supreme Court, this time successfully defending the death penalty in ''McGautha v. California''.〔 In 1971, he represented California as an amicus curiae in support of the successful argument of the State of Illinois in ''Kirby v. Illinois''.〔 In 1972, his final year as a Deputy Attorney General, George unsuccessfully argued in favor of the death penalty before the California Supreme Court in ''California v. Anderson'' but was successful in defending the conviction of Sirhan Sirhan in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, a U.S. Senator and 1968 presidential candidate.〔 The ruling in ''California v. Anderson'' resulted in the dismissal of ''Aikens v. California'' as moot; George was to have represented the State of California in this case.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronald M. George」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
