Biography

The Hon. Jamoa A. Moberly (Ret.) served as a judge for the Superior Court of Orange County in California. She was appointed to the Municipal Court of Orange County by former governor Pete Wilson on April 3, 1996. She was elevated to the Superior Court of Orange County on August 10, 1998 upon the majority vote of judges in the county to convert Municipal Courts to Superior Courts.


Moberly earned a B.A. from the University of California, San Diego in 1972. She then received a J.D. from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1976.


Moberly began her legal career in 1977. She worked as an associate with Fleming, Anderson, McClung & Finch, where she specialized in business litigation, health law, administrative law, class action, family law, and real estate. Then, in 1979 she joined Greenberg, Bernhard, Weiss & Karma as an associate. Here, she handled real estate, environmental impact, and employment discrimination cases. One year later she moved to Schell & Delamer as an associate, eventually becoming a partner in 1990. At Schell & Delamer, she specialized in civil litigation, medical and professional negligence, bad faith, toxic exposures, premises and product liability, and wrongful termination.


As a judge of the Superior Court of Orange County, Moberly served on the probate panel and the civil panel. She also sat on the misdemeanor and limited civil trial court. After retiring from the bench in 2017, she became a neutral, working as a mediator and arbitrator.


Moberly was a recipient of the Remarkable Woman Award from the National Association of Women Business Owners in 2007. She was named Judge of the Year by the Orange County Women Lawyers Association in 2011, and she was honored as a Distinguished Judicial Fellow in 2014 by the Orange County Bar Foundation Society of Fellows.


She was a resident of Irvine at the time of her appointment to the Municipal Court of Orange County.


She has served as a lector for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. She has also volunteered as a driver for Meals on Wheels.
