When Ninth Circuit Judge Kim Wardlaw first took the district court bench in 1995, it was a big transition from her previous role as a litigation partner at O’Melveny & Myers.
“[At the firm] I had a library that would do research for me and I had 10 people doing my word processing and I had support out the wazoo—personal assistant, corner front office on the 15th floor—and it was great,” said Wardlaw, speaking at an event at the Seattle federal courthouse last week.
