Jacqueline Widmar Stewart, Author

MOTHER, AUTHOR, LAWYER, SLEUTH
In avid pursuit of a more accurate account of Europe’s past through all things French, I produce books and films about our findings.  With the benefit of a Stanford Law Degree, a Master’s Degree in French, studies in France, Germany, Slovenia and Greece, Slovenian heritage, and insights from our former tapestry import business, my husband and I trace threads back to a pan-European fabric that grows ever more intriguing. 

As far as my legal pursuits, I worked as an associate for Wylie Leahy Blunt and McBride in San Jose just out of law school, and later for the City Attorney’s office. For a number of years, I served as judge pro tempore, arbitrator, and mediator for the Santa Clara County Courts and Bar Association, and as pro bono assistant counsel for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. I co-founded East Palo Alto Kids Foundation and for 10 years ran this educational fund for underserved children. Come join us!
