CA Bar #: 52102 (April 1972)

Appointed By: Pres. Ronald W. Reagan

Biography

The Hon. Stephen V. Wilson is a District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. He was nominated by President Ronald Reagan in September 1985 and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate the following month.


Judge Wilson received his B.A. from Lehigh University in 1963. He earned his J.D. from Brooklyn Law School in 1967 and his LL.M. from George Washington University Law School in 1973.


He began his legal career as a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice's Tax Division in 1968. Three years later, Wilson joined the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, where he started out as an assistant U.S. Attorney before becoming the chief of their Fraud and Special Prosecutions Section in 1973. Wilson served in that capacity until 1977.


It was at that time that he entered into private practice. He was practicing at the Los Angeles law firm of Hochman, Salkin, and DeRoy at the time of his appointment to the District Court in 1985.


Wilson served as the chairman of the Federal Indigent Defense Panel Committee for the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Calfornia for one year beginning in 1979.


He also taught as an adjunct professor at Loyola University and the University of San Diego.


During his tenure on the District Court, Judge Wilson overturned a California ban on the sale of foie gras in 2015. The ban originated from a 2004 law that sought to bar California farmers from force-feeding the ducks to produce the delicacy.


Judge Wilson was born in New York City, New York and is an avid Yankees fan.
