Biography

Overview

The Hon. Robert P. Applegate (Ret.) was a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. Applegate was appointed to the bench by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in October 2005, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Meredith C. Taylor[1]. He retired on January 3, 2021.

While on the bench, Applegate's assignments included family law matters in Burbank[2]. Applegate was the trial judge in People v. Liu, a criminal case that later reached the Supreme Court of California in 2019[2].

Educational background

Applegate earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. He went on to complete a J.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law. He was admitted to the State Bar of California (December 1976).

Career history

After his admission to the bar, Applegate spent twenty-one years in private practice in Los Angeles County. His work included insurance defense, construction defect, immigration, juvenile, family law, and criminal defense matters[3]. Following that work, he served as a juvenile court referee for the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Applegate then became a court commissioner for that court in 1999[1].

His professional service included a term on the board of directors of the California Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts[4].

Personal life

At the time of his appointment, Applegate was a resident of La Canada Flintridge[1]. Outside the courtroom, his wife, Jeanette Applegate, retired from the Sheriff's Department in 2004 after thirty-three years of service[1]. In describing his approach to the bench, Applegate emphasized respectful treatment of those appearing before him[3]. A later profile said that he focused on settling cases[2].

Applegate is registered as a Republican.
