Appointed By: Pres. William J. Clinton

Biography

The Hon. Gary A. Feess (Ret.) served as a judge for the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Feess was appointed to the bench by former President Bill Clinton on January 26, 1999, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. James M. Ideman. He retired on January 5, 2015, and joined Phillips ADR as a private mediator and arbitrator.


Feess began his judicial career as a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court, a position to which he was appointed in 1996. Over the course of his judicial career, Feess was tasked with implementing the consent decree filed against the Los Angeles Police Department in the aftermath of the Rodney King riots and the Rampart scandal.


He earned a bachelor’s degree in history and mathematics from Ohio State University in 1970. He then completed a J.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law in 1974.


After graduating from law school, Feess entered into private practice at Jones Day Reavis & Pogue. He worked in that capacity until 1979, at which time he joined the Criminal Division of the Office of the United States Attorney for the Central District of California.


Feess, who started as an assistant United States attorney, quickly rose through the ranks to become chief assistant United States attorney in 1988. The following year, he returned to private practice. He worked as a partner at Jones Day (1989 to 1992) as well as Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Oliver (1992 to 1996). During this time in private practice, he was named general counsel for the Christopher Commission.


His memberships have included the Judge Paul R. Michel Intellectual Property Inn of Court.


Feess was born in Alliance, Ohio.
