Biography

The Hon. John B. Gibson (Ret.) served as a judge for the Superior Court of San Bernardino County in California. Gibson was initially appointed to the San Bernardino Municipal Court in 1990. He was subsequently elevated to the Superior Court upon court unification in 1998. Gibson retired from the bench on September 19, 2013.


After graduating from law school, Gibson began his legal career as a staff attorney for the San Diego County Legal Aid Society. He then entered into private practice. He worked in that capacity until joining Project Jove, an organization dedicated to representing ex-convicts in employment law disputes. Then, in 1981, he became a deputy district attorney for the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.


In 2010, Gibson was publicly admonished by the Commission on Judicial Performance for failing to maintain high standards of conduct. According to the Commission, Gibson displayed impatience, irritation, and sarcasm towards attorneys and made crude remarks and gestures.
