Miriam's Story
Life
I left Vista in 1984 after graduation to attend CSU Northridge and study Finance. A few years later, by sheer accident I fell into working in the legal field because of my bilingual skills and became a certified legal interpreter in addition to working as a civil litigation paralegal. My employer encouraged me to attend UCLA to obtain my paralegal Certificate. I never imagined that this small town girl would have such a wonderful job working for a firm that specializes in Media Law/Intellectual Property and Copyright Infringement. I have now worked on a case involving International Copyright Infringement in my first CA Court of Appeals Hearing. I have now had the experience of going to trial before the U.S. Supreme Court on this same case and it is quite exciting and I am proud to have be on the trial team for this case.

our trial team won for Plaintiff Iagainst all odds) on an Excessive Force and Abuse of Power case which set precedent for many future similar cases and and were awarded over $100,000 in eligible attorney fees and $50,000+ in Punitive damages for our plaintiff who is a current inmate at Tehachapi State Prison.
I hope all is well with all my Class of 1984 classmates.
School
I will always appreciate Mrs. Shannon who although she was not my french teacher, she always brought my introverted self out of my shell.
I have so many fond memories of Mr. Bursvold for The Choir and All The Choir memories.
My short lived time on the Vista High Soccer Team (before my parents found out I forged my permission slip and yanked me off of Soccer). Hee Hee I got away and joined the women's soccer team at CSU Northridge. Guess What I still Play... Woo Woo
