In today's The National Law Journal article by Avalon Z., Will the 9th Circuit Still Be Center State in Trump Policy Changes, Berkeley Judicial Institute (BJI)'s Judge Jeremy Fogel (ret.) is quoted. From the article: Jeremy Fogel, executive director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute, said the trial courts are a key consideration due to their factfinding function. “A reviewing court is limited by the record that was made in the district court in terms of factual issues," said Fogel, a former judge in the Northern District of California. "And so I think part of the analysis of ‘where do you file?’ has to do with your sense of the reception you're going to get in the district court.”
