President Jim ringing the bell at his last meeting

Congratulations Judge Ed Chen

on your appointment to the

US District Court

Judge Chen will be only the second Asian American federal judge in the Northern District of California, bringing long overdue diversity to the court that first rendered many infamous civil rights decisions affecting Asian Pacific Americans – including United States v. Korematsu and Yick Wo v. Hopkins. Notably, Judge Chen was also part of the original legal team that overturned the conviction of Fred Korematsu, 40 years after the fact.

Judge Edward Chen currently serves as a U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of California, a position he has held since 2001. Judge Chen received his undergraduate degree from the University of California – Berkeleyin 1975 and his law degree from Boalt Hall Schoolof Law in 1979. Immediately following law school, he served judicial clerkships for U.S. District Judge Charles B. Renfrewfor the Northern District of California and U.S. Circuit Judge James R. Browning of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. From 1982 until 1985, he worked as an associate at the San Francisco firm of Coblentz, Cahen, McCabe & Breyer. Between 1985 and taking the bench in 2001, Judge Chen worked as a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, Northern California Chapter, where he was primarily engaged in civil litigation. Judge Chen is being nominated for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
