Lawrence P. Riff
A former toxic tort litigator and longtime partner at Steptoe & Johnson, Superior Court Judge Lawrence P. Riff handles some of Los Angeles County's most high-profile and consequential cases ranging from bail reform and wildfire insurance disputes to defective products and social media liability. Respected for his courtroom control, intellectual rigor, and willingness to explore nuance, Riff believes the decline of trials has eroded litigation skills and increased discovery conflicts--problems he's tackling through new legal workshops.
Before she took the bench, Superior Court Judge Rebecca G. Church was already preserving legal history--resurrecting the forgotten legacy of San Diego's first woman assistant U.S. attorney. Now, from her courtroom in downtown San Diego, Church draws on that sense of duty and perspective to navigate the emotionally charged terrain of family law, where the stakes are personal and the path to justice is rarely simple.
