Former LA County judge joins ARC

Former Los Angeles County Judge Gloria White-Brown has joined the panel of neutrals at Alternative Resolution Centers.

White-Brown, who spent more than 20 years on the Superior Court, will focus on mediation and arbitration in areas including business law, real estate, personal injury, medical malpractice, and environmental law.

Devin Tucker, ARC head of Business Development, said in a statement, "She will help us in our mission of promoting diversity to serve the community better. She is extremely knowledgeable and intuitive, making her a great listener."

Appointed in 2002 by Gov. Gray Davis, White-Brown presided over hundreds of cases in Civil, Family, and Criminal departments, gaining a reputation for her calm demeanor and meticulous attention to detail, Tucker said. She handled more than 300 jury and court trials and worked in the Mandatory Settlement Program, where she helped resolve many disputes.

Prior to her judicial appointment, White-Brown served as an environmental prosecutor and trial attorney with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, rising to senior deputy district counsel for the agency. She also worked as a Los Angeles County deputy district attorney.

In 2017, she was inducted into the John M. Langston Bar Association Hall of Fame, and in 2021, she received its Judicial Honoree of the Year award. White-Brown maintains strong ties with organizations such as the Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles and has mentored aspiring legal professionals through programs like the California Judicial Education and Research initiative and Loyola Law School's Stephen O'Neill Trial Advocacy Program.
