Biography

The Hon. Aurelio N. Munoz (Ret.) served as a judge for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County in California. Munoz was initially appointed to the Los Angeles County Municipal Court by former Governor Jerry Brown in 1979. The following year, he was elevated to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, a position he held until his retirement in 2009.


Over the course of his judicial career, Munoz served as the supervising judge of the criminal courts from 1986 to 1987.


Munoz earned a bachelor’s degree from San Jose State University. During this time, he worked as an electronics technician for Hewlewtt Packard. Then, in 1966, he completed a J.D. at Santa Clara University School of Law.


After graduating from law school, Munoz began his legal career as a law clerk for the Hon. Murray Draper of the California First District Court of Appeal. He then moved to Philadelphia, where he worked with Anthony G. Amsterdam at the University of Pennsylvania sponsored by the Ford Foundation. As part of his fellowship, Munoz worked for the voluntary defender’s office in Philadelphia.


Munoz returned to California in 1969. He joined the Fresno County Public Defender’s Office as a deputy public defender. Three years later, he became the senior staff attorney for a joint legislative committee working on revision of the Penal Code as well as a staff attorney for the California Court of Appeal. Shortly after, he was selected to serve as a deputy state public defender, a position he held until his appointment to the bench.


Born and raised in Dinuba near Fresno, Munoz is a veteran of the United States Navy, where he rose from a seaman recruit to a second class electronics technician.
