Edward J. Davila

Having practiced in many federal and state courts for many years, I count Judge Davila as one of my all time favorite judges. Judge Davila is extremely courteous, endlessly patient, and open-minded. He knows the law, prepares carefully, gets to the key issues while ensuring that all parties have had a full and fair opportunity to present their arguments, and is in every way, in my experience, a first-rate federal judge. I lost a number of important arguments before Judge Davila, but I never thought I did not get a fair hearing from a judge who was willing to have his mind changed.

Judge Davila is one of the most pleasant and friendly judges in the Northern District.
