The Commission on Judicial Appointments yesterday confirmed Matthew A. Scherb as an associate justice of Div. Eight of this district’s Court of Appeal.
Scherb has been a chambers attorney at the California Supreme Court since 2021 and served as a deputy with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office from 2017-21.
A graduate of the Northwestern University School of Law, he also worked as a research attorney for the First District Court of Appeal from 2011-17, as a litigator with Winston & Strawn in San Francisco from 2005-11, and served as a law clerk for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia from 2004-05.
Yesterday’s confirmation, made by unanimous vote by the three-member commission consisting of Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, and Presiding Justice Arthur Gilbert of this district’s Div. Six, fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Elizabeth A. Grimes.
Also confirmed were San Bernardino Superior Court Judge Corey Lee, who fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Marsha G. Slough from Div. Two of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, and Fresno Superior Court Judge Arlan L. Harrell, who replaces retired Justice Charles S. Poochigian of the Fifth District Court of Appeal.
