Judge Intelligence
California Federal Judges
The federal courts serving California — the U.S. District and Bankruptcy Courts for the Northern, Eastern, Central and Southern Districts of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit — organized by court and published under the same official-source verification discipline as the state bench; each court's bench appears here once it is verified against the court's own roster. Federal practice runs on its own local rules and judge-specific procedures — never assume state-court procedure applies.
California's federal courts, one state at a time. California's trial courts have their own directory, California judges; every live state's federal bench, side by side, sits at /judges/federal.
