About

Julia Shear Kushner joined Leslie Ellen Shear’s practice after a federal district court clerkship. Ms. Shear Kushner graduated from UCLA School of Law in 2010. She ranked #10 in her class, and served as chief managing editor of the law review. Her published law review article on the right to choose one’s name is cited in Witkin. With Ms. Shear, she co-authored an article on abduction risk and prevention for the Journal of Child Custody, and an article on whether People v. Sanchez governs child custody evaluations for the CLA Family Law News. She is a member of the LACBA Appellate Courts section executive committee, nominated for the position of treasurer next term. Her first published opinion (Marriage of Dalgleish and Selvaggio (2017) 17 Cal.App.5th 1172, rev. denied March 14, 2018) was California Family Law Report (CFLR)’s Family Law Case of the Month. Ms. Shear Kushner has lectured on appellate practice for the California Judicial Council, and on the Sanchez-CCE issue for a State Bar Family Law Section Webinar and the White-Zuckerman Orange County Study Group. Please do not send any confidential information to me and my office until I have done a conflict check and scheduled a paid consultation. I may have already consulted with the other side in your case. Please just send an email indicating that you would like a consultation and indicate whether it is for an appeal or trial court matter.
