Judge Philip S. Gutierrez: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

CA Bar #: 117843 (June 1985)

Appointed By: Pres. George W. Bush

Biography

The Hon. Philip S. Gutierrez is a District Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. He was nominated by President George W. Bush in January 2007 and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate three weeks later. He filled the seat vacated by the Hon. Terry J. Hatter, Jr.


Judge Gutierrez received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 1981. He went on to earn his J.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law in 1984.


After graduating from law school, Gutierrez practiced as an associate at Wolf, Pocrass, and Reyes, before joining Kern and Wooley in 1986. Then, two years later, he joined Cotkin and Collin, where he would become a managing partner for the firm's Santa Ana office. Gutierrez was practicing in that capacity when he received a call to the state bench in 1997.


The former Governor Pete Wilson appointed Judge Gutierrez to the Whittier Municipal Court in 1997, where he presided over civil and criminal cases. He was subsequently elevated to the Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2000 as a result of the court's unification. He remained on the Superior Court bench until his confirmation to the District Court in 2007.


While on the Superior Court, Judge Gutierrez served on the Court's Executive Committee and served as the chair of the California Judges Association's Committee on Judicial Ethics.


Some of his memberships included the Orange County chapter of the Hispanic Bar Association and the Westside Legal Services.


During his tenure on the Central District Court of California, Judge Gutierrez has participated in the Court's Patent Pilot Program, which was designed to help enhance the District Court Judges expertise in patent cases.


Judge Gutierrez was born in Los Angeles, California.
