    NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA LAWYER REPRESENTATIVE COMMITTEE REPORT 2017-2018 Submitted by Miriam Kim (Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP) and Elizabeth Pipkin (McManis Faulkner), 2018-2019 Committee Co-Chairs. I. Introduction: This report will cover judicial developments in the Northern District since August 2017, our District Conference, and other activities of the Lawyer Representative Committee during that time. II. Judicial Appointments and Retirements A. The Northern District continues to enjoy its full complement of active district- court judges. Together with the continued strong contributions of our five senior-status judges and 12 full- time magistrate judges, the District is well prepared to serve the interest of justice in our federal system. B. In August 2017, Chief Judge Emeritus Thelton Henderson took inactive status after serving 37 years on the bench, including his 7-year term as the court’s Chief Judge from 1990 to 1997. The court held a retirement celebration at the San Francisco courthouse, in the Ceremonial Courtroom, which was renamed in his honor as the Thelton E. Henderson Ceremonial Courtroom. C. In June 2017, Bankruptcy Judge Alan Jaroslovsky retired. He served over 30 years on the Bankruptcy Court, including his tenure as Chief Bankruptcy Judge from 2011 to 2014. D. In November 2017, Magistrate Judge Vadas retired after serving in the Eureka Division for 13 years. The court appointed Robert Illman to that magistrate-judge position. E. In June 2018, Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd will retire after 16 years on the bench in the San Jose Division. The court has selected Virginia K. DeMarchi, formerly a partner at the law firm of Fenwick & West LLP, to join the Northern District bench as a Magistrate Judge upon Judge Lloyd’s retirement.
