[edit] William W. Bedsworth

I created this article on Justice Beds, since I found his career and writings fascinating in the light of our Philippine laws and judiciary which borrowed our rules of court from the Federal Rules of Service of California.

Your above explanation doesn't really make sense in that it conflates federal with state procedure. California civil procedure diverges significantly from federal civil procedure in many, many ways. For example, most of our state civil procedure is in the Code of Civil Procedure enacted by the Legislature instead of the California Rules of Court, while most federal civil procedure is in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and relatively less of it is in the United States Code enacted by Congress. Also, while Justice Bedsworth is certainly highly respected, there are several other Court of Appeal justices who are probably even better known, like Nora Manella (daughter of a co-founder of elite law firm Irell & Manella), Richard M. Mosk (son of Stanley Mosk), and Arthur Scotland (famous for his no-nonsense attitude). --Coolcaesar (talk) 09:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
