William W. Bedsworth[edit]

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)[reply]

Picture??[edit]

Umm, forgive me for not really knowing a bunch of stuff about how things work here, but why does a PERSON have a picture of a building at the top of the page about him? Parl2001 (talk) 00:42, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have the time to fix it right now, but all the external links to his writings are 404 broken. Additionally, some of the references are 404 broken. Nikkicarter11 (talk) 19:42, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
