Partners from Sidley Austin and Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough were among the six lawyers Gov. Jerry Brown chose to fill a batch of trial court vacancies, the governor’s office announced Monday.

Michael Kelley, a litigation and regulatory partner at Sidley Austin since 1987, was named to the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Kelley had previously been a partner and an associate with the now-defunct Los Angeles firm of Kadison, Pfaelzer, Woodard, Quinn & Rossi.
