Biography

The Hon. Joseph S. Biderman (Ret.) served as a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. Biderman was appointed to the bench by former Governor Gray Davis in 2002.


Biderman began his judicial career as a commissioner for the Los Angeles Municipal Court (1994 to 2000) and the Los Angeles County Superior Court (2000 to 2002).


Over the course of his judicial career, Biderman held assignments as the Supervising Judge of the West District of the Los Angeles Superior Court. He also presided over the Probate Calendar and the Independent Calendar Civil Court.


Biderman earned a B.A. in American government and politics from the University of Virginia in 1978. He then completed a J.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law in 1981. As a law student, Biderman interned with the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice. He also clerked for the Hon. Robert M. Takasugi of the United States District Court for the Central District of California.


After graduating from law school, Biderman joined the United States Department of Justice as a civil rights attorney in Washington, D.C. He served in that capacity until 1983, at which time he became a deputy public defender in the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office. He spent the next two years handling misdemeanor, felony, and juvenile cases.


Then, in 1985, Biderman entered into private practice. He started as an associate at Bryan Cave, where he specialized in product liability, business, environmental, and civil rights matters. Three years later, Biderman moved to Honda North America. He worked as managing counsel until 1991, supervising staff attorneys in the product liability claims.


Biderman started his own private practice as a sole practitioner in 1991. He spent the next three years handling general business, torts, and criminal defense matters before becoming of counsel at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. Biderman worked in that capacity until his appointment to the Los Angeles Municipal Court.


His memberships have included the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Santa Monica Bar Association, the Desert Bar Association, and the California Judges Association. He has sat on the Board of Directors of the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic.


While born in Montgomery Alabama, Biderman was raised in McLean, Virginia. He enjoys running, bicycling, hiking, gardening, and reading mystery novels. He is certified bilingual by the County of Los Angeles.


Biderman retired from the bench in 2014. He then began working as a mediator and arbitrator at Judicate West (2014 to 2016) and ADR Services, Inc. (2015 to 2020). In 2020, Biderman started his own private mediation practice.
