Judge David E. Hizami

Judge David E. Hizami serves on the Los Angeles Superior Court at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, having been appointed by Governor Jerry Brown on June 29, 2016. He was one of 18 judges appointed to California Superior Courts at that time, with seven of those appointments placed in Los Angeles County. No disciplinary records exist with the California Commission on Judicial Performance, indicating a clean record since his appointment. Beyond these foundational facts, no ruling analyses, attorney observations, or ingested content are currently available to characterize his judicial philosophy, ruling tendencies, or courtroom management style. Attorneys appearing before Judge Hizami should treat this profile as a starting point and supplement it with direct research into his recent docket activity through the Los Angeles Superior Court's public records and services such as Trellis or CourtListener.

Given the absence of ruling analyses and attorney observations, no data-supported characterization of Judge Hizami's preferred argument styles, motion practice tendencies, or courtroom demeanor is available at this time. Attorneys should conduct independent research into his recent rulings through the Los Angeles Superior Court's online docket system prior to any appearance. Standard best practices for Stanley Mosk Courthouse appearances — including strict compliance with local rules, thorough preparation of written submissions, and professional courtroom conduct — remain the baseline guidance until more specific behavioral data is collected on this judge.
