Biography

The Hon. Gerald S. Rosenberg (Ret.) served as a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. Rosenberg was appointed to the bench by former Governor Gray Davis in 2000, filling the vacancy created by the elevation of the Hon. Candace D. Cooper to the California Court of Appeal (Second District) in 1999. He retired in 2019.


Over the course of his judicial career, Rosenberg held assignments in the Criminal Preliminary Hearings and Trials, the Civil Trials, the Family Law, and the Probate Divisions. He served as an Assistant Supervising Judge for the Superior Court West District (2004 to 2006) and as the Supervising Judge for the Superior Court West District (2007 to 2010).


Rosenberg graduated with his B.A. in political science from California State University, Northridge in 1972. Then, in 1975, he completed a J.D. at Southwestern Law School.


After graduating from law school, Rosenberg began his legal career as a principal at Malmuth and Rosenberg, where he handled real estate, business, family law, personal injury, and construction matters until 1985. During his tenure there, he also worked as a statistician for the Los Angeles Raiders (1982 to 1994) as well as a judge pro tem for the Los Angeles Municipal Court (1980 to 1995).


Rosenberg left the firm in 1985. At that time, he started his own private practice as a sole practitioner. He remained in private practice for the next ten years, eventually leaving to serve as a court commissioner for the Beverly Hills Municipal Court (1995 to 2000) and the Los Angeles County Superior Court (2000).


His memberships have included the Association of Business Trial Lawyers, the California Judges Association, the Santa Monica Bar Association, and the Los Angeles County Bar Association. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Judicial Officer Award (2011) from Southwestern Law School as well as the Trial Judge of the Year Award (2017) from the American Board of Trial Advocates.


Rosenberg currently works as a neutral at ADR Services, Inc.
