Retired state Supreme Court Justice Marcus M. Kaufman will join a Los Angeles law firm in June, the firm announced. Kaufman, 60, a 1987 appointee of Gov. George Deukmejian, resigned from the court effective Jan. 31, but is remaining to complete work on cases in which he participated. Deukmejian appointed Justice Armand Arabian to replace him. The firm of Buchalter, Nemer, Fields & Younger said Kaufman would be involved in appellate matters, provide litigation strategy and technical knowledge, and take part in education programs for the firm’s 170 lawyers. Kaufman “brings a wealth of experience to bear on California judicial matters at the highest levels,” said Jack Samet, head of the firm’s litigation department.
