Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Mourns Passing of Judge Alfred Theodore Goodwin

Judge Alfred Theodore “Ted” Goodwin, 99, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, died on Dec. 27, 2022, in Bend, Oregon. Judge Goodwin was born on June 29, 1923, in Bellingham, Washington, and served as a judge for over 65 years. He is one of only two known judges in the nation to have sat on state and federal trial and appellate benches, respectively. Notably, at the time of his death, Judge Goodwin was the oldest federal judge in the country, as well as the longest-serving current federal judge.
