About Leticia
Leticia Tanner grew up studying the mechanics of government and law. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from California State University, Chico in 1992, where she also completed a paralegal certificate, participated in Moot Court and served as a court representative for issues affecting people with disabilities. Those early roles put practical legal work and courtroom procedure within reach long before law school.
She went on to earn her Juris Doctor from California Northern School of Law in 1998. The combination of paralegal training and a J.D. gave her a layered perspective on litigation and administrative practice. Classrooms and clinics in Chico and at California Northern School of Law shaped her approach to legal problems. They also informed how she communicates complex rules to nonlawyers.
Tanner’s career includes significant work inside state government. Records show an association with the State of California and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. That work has involved the kind of regulatory and administrative matters typical for attorneys who represent or advise public agencies. Her paralegal background proved useful early on, helping bridge the gap between legal research and the day-to-day operational needs of a large agency.
Colleagues describe her approach as practical. She tends to break issues down into concrete steps. That method suits administrative hearings and policy reviews. It also fits legal tasks for a department that handles personnel, discipline, contracts and regulatory compliance. She has worked on matters that require close coordination with agency administrators, counsel and outside parties.
Outside the office, Tanner’s academic record at Chico shows an interest in access to justice. Serving as a court representative for the disabled linked her early education to public-facing legal work. Moot Court experience during her undergraduate years added courtroom exposure at an early stage and likely influenced how she later handled litigation and advocacy tasks.
Licensed to practice in California, Tanner continues to work in roles tied to state government and corrections-related legal business. Her current practice focuses on legal issues that arise within state agencies, including administrative and regulatory matters for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
