Newly-appointed Sacramento Superior Court Judge Shelleyanne W. L. Chang is a soft-spoken, unpretentious, slender woman of medium stature. She is eminently gracious and friendly. Born in Hawaii to third generation Chinese-Americans from Guangchou (formerly Canton), South China, Judge Chang grew up predominantly in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. She attended the University of Washington, the alma mater of both her parents, and, thereafter, opted for McGeorge Law School because of its international law program.

Before her December 19, 2002 appointment, Judge Chang served as the Chief Deputy Legal Affairs Secretary for Governor Gray Davis. In that capacity, she advised the Governor and his staff on legal issues and pending litigation, provided direction to the Attorney General's Office on litigation involving the Governor, and reviewed and analyzed proposed legislation.
