MOVERS: Larson to join Girardi & Keese after resigning the bench

By Richard Binder

Girardi & Keese announced on Friday that U.S. District Judge Stephen G. Larson will join the firm as a partner when his resignation takes effect in the beginning of November.

Larson recently informed his colleagues that he was going to resign after less than four years on the bench. The 44-year-old jurist cited the failure of efforts to increase the annual salary for the office and the anticipated costs of future college educations for his seven children.

Larson was nominated as a district judge by then-President George W. Bush in 2005 and confirmed by the Senate the following year, after having been appointed a magistrate judge in 2000. He has sat in Riverside for the last nine years.
