Judge Winston S. Keh

Judge Winston S. Keh serves on the San Bernardino County Superior Court, assigned to the San Bernardino Justice Center. He was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2021, making him a relatively recent addition to the bench. His appointment by a Democratic governor in 2021 places him among a cohort of jurists selected during that administration's tenure. He has received coverage in the Daily Journal in both June and July 2024, including a piece titled 'Dream Job' in June 2024, suggesting a degree of professional recognition within the California legal community. Because no analyzed rulings, attorney observations, or ingested content are available in the current dataset, no verified patterns regarding his judicial philosophy, ruling tendencies, motion practice preferences, or courtroom demeanor can be reported at this time. Attorneys preparing to appear before Judge Keh should treat this profile as a baseline identification record and supplement it with direct courthouse intelligence, recent docket review, and outreach to colleagues who have appeared before him.

Given the absence of ruling data and attorney observations, no evidence-based tactical guidance specific to Judge Keh's preferences can be provided. Attorneys should conduct independent research by reviewing recent dockets from the San Bernardino Justice Center and speaking with practitioners who have appeared before him since his 2021 appointment. As a 2021 appointee, Judge Keh has had several years on the bench. Attorneys should pull any publicly available tentative rulings or minute orders from San Bernardino Superior Court's online portal to identify patterns in how he handles motions, manages courtroom procedure, and responds to oral argument. This primary research will be far more reliable than any inference from the limited profile data currently available.
