Today's DJ reports ‘Time to make a change,’ says Justice David Thompson
Justice David A. Thompson of the 4th District Court of Appeal will return to private practice on Oct. 15 after 24 years as an appellate and superior court judge.
Named to the Court of Appeal in 2012, Thompson wrote more than 700 opinions. He previously served 15 years as a judge of the Orange County Superior Court.
"The best part of being an appellate judge is having the luxury of time to really sit and think and research," Thompson said.
"Justice Thompson has a rare combination of a hard headed, straight ahead approach to the law and a big heart that never lets him lose sight of the impact his decisions have on real people," Justice William Bedsworth said in a statement. "He is a hard worker who challenges assumptions and thinks through every consequence."
