The Hon. Holly J. Fujie is a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. She was appointed to the bench in 2011 by former governor Jerry Brown. She filled the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Jerry E. Johnson (Ret.).

She is a registered Democrat.

Judge Fujie received her B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1975. She went on to earn her J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law in 1978. While in law school, Fujie served as the editor of the California Law Review.

After graduating from law school, Fujie worked as an associate for the law firms of Adams, Duque, and Hazeltine from 1978 to 1980, Morgan, Lewis, and Bockius from 1980 to 1981, and Rogers and Wells from 1981 to 1985.

She would remain with the firm until her appointment to the Superior Court in 2011.

During her time on the bench, Judge Fujie has presided over family law assignments at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse.
