Biography

Annie Guidroz joined GMSR as an associate attorney after clerking for the Honorable Brian M. Hoffstadt at the California Court of Appeal, where she gained valuable insight into how California’s appellate courts operate.  Before clerking, Annie spent two years as an appellate fellow with GMSR.  In that role, she gained extensive experience perfecting appeals at the pre-briefing stage and successfully briefed an appeal that resulted in a landmark published opinion on discovery abuse.

Annie graduated from Loyola Law School, where she now teaches Appellate Advocacy part-time and coaches students competing in the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition.  While in law school, Annie served as an Articles Editor on the Loyola Law Review, externed for the Honorable Stephen V. Wilson in the Central District of California, interned with the Federal Public Defender’s Capital Habeas Unit, worked with Loyola’s Project for the Innocent clinic, and competed on a moot court team.

In her free time, Annie enjoys cooking, crafting, and spending time with her husband and their two dachshunds.
