Judge Robert I. Weil: A legend of the California judiciary, Robert I. Weil served as a judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court from 1975 to 1990, when he retired to become a private judge and began a new career in the field of alternative dispute resolution. A past president of the California Judges Association, he co-authored and nurtured the widely used Weil & Brown's California Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial published by The Rutter Group. He was a man of varied interests, and began his career as a journalist after graduating from Columbia University's School of Journalism in 1944. He later attended law school at USC. Whether on the bench or in the private sector, Judge Weil was a consummate educator of all who came in contact with him. The DRS Robert I. Weil Lecture honors his memory by continuing his tradition of sharing knowledge and offering a forum for dialogue on important topics related to alternative dispute resolution.
