Christopher Hayes took his judicial oath of office Jan. 24, becoming San Bernardino County’s newest judge.
Appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in December, Hayes spent nine years as senior appellate court attorney at the Fourth District Court of Appeal. Previously, he spent 10 years at the civil litigation firm Boies Schiller Flexner, including six as counsel. He clerked at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeal for a year, and for Louisiana District Judge James Brady for another.
Seventeen county judges and five appellate justices attended the ceremony, as did five appellate justices.
