Vijay
Gandhi becomes US federal judge

Washington:
Vijay “Jay” C. Gandhi has become the first Indian American federal
judge in the Central District of California and the second community
member to become federal judge in the history of the United States.
Gandhi, 38, sworn in as a Magistrate Judge for the US District Court
for the Central District of California last week, is also one of the
youngest federal judges currently serving in the Central District.
Gandhi will sit in Los Angeles and will preside over matters arising
from all three divisions of the court. The Central District of
California is the largest district in the US, serving more than 19
million people.
“We are exceptionally proud of Judge Gandhi for his accomplishments,
especially given his steadfast commitment to the South Asian
community,” said Joseph J. Centeno, president of the National Asian
Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA). “He will be an
outstanding magistrate judge.”
Gandhi was formerly a litigation partner at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky
& Walker LLP. He practiced law for nearly 12 years at the firm, as
an associate from 1998 to 2006, and as an equity partner,
thereafter.
He also worked on a full-time basis as a volunteer Deputy District
Attorney and first-chaired multiple jury trials as a prosecutor.
Gandhi has been repeatedly recognisd as a “Rising Star Lawyer” in
the “Super Lawyers” Edition of Law & Politics Magazine.
He is also a prolific writer and speaker on securities and business
litigation, and has co-authored a book about securities law claims.
Prior to joining Paul Hastings, Gandhi clerked for Kenneth M. Hoyt,
US District Court Judge for the Southern District of Texas.
Gandhi received his JD degree from the University of Southern
California Law School, where he graduated Order of the Coif and
received multiple American Jurisprudence awards.
Gandhi is also a Past President and Lifetime Member of the South
Asian Bar Association of Southern California, an affiliate of NAPABA.
