Outside of the courtroom, Judge Smiley has remained active in teaching and volunteering with legal organizations. He has taught law for over a decade at UC Hastings and Berkeley Law.

With the help of other history enthusiasts, he has collected documents, interviews, and information about pioneering jurists throughout California. He lectures on the topic several times each year.
