We interview Hon. Jeremy D. Fogel (Ret.), Executive Director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute at UC Berkeley Law School, former federal judge for the Northern District of California and immediate past Director of the Federal Judicial Center. 

Judge Fogel recounts how his first judicial appointment came about, shares what makes being a judge both burdensome and gratifying, and reflects on how the concept of mindfulness has guided his judicial career.

Judge Fogel joined Legalist's Advisory Board in September 2020.
