Former US judge Jeremy Fogel is passionate about giving disputants a chance to be heard
November 25, 2022 – Retired federal Judge Jeremy D. Fogel isn’t ready to quit his day job as the executive director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute, but he is enjoying the hands-on opportunity to help people resolve their disputes a little more frequently these days.
“I really like doing mediation,” Fogel said. “And I was looking for some way to keep my hand in that without in any way diminishing the work I do at Berkeley.”
Fogel described the center he heads at UC Berkeley School of Law as a combination of research and education aimed at applying an academic focus to the work judges do. Fogel has been the executive director there since 2018 and he does a fair bit of teaching – although he said his students are typically judges or people working in the judiciary, such as law clerks.
