Description
The illegitimate son of a bartender who abandoned his pregnant mother, Jim Rogan was raised by his grandmother and grandfather - - a longshoreman for over 40 years on the docks of San Francisco. When they died, Jim went to live with his mother, a convicted felon and single mother on welfare and food stamps with four young children. Jim dropped out of high school to go to work, taking a string of low-paying jobs, like scrubbing toilets, cooking pizzas, stacking truck tires, and selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door. Although he never returned to complete high school, Jim enrolled at Chabot Community College, and then went on to earn a B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley, and a J.D. from UCLA Law School. Jim worked his way through law school as a bartender in a string of seedy bars on the Sunset Strip and North Hollywood, including a Hell’s Angels bar, a female mud wrestling strip joint, and even as a bouncer in a porno theater. He witnessed assaults, knife fights, drug overdoses, and murder. Some of the places were so dangerous that he carried handguns in shoulder holsters and speed loaders in his pockets. Through all this, Jim studied his law books by the dim red bar sink lights while pouring drinks and breaking up fights.
stint as a corporate attorney in one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious law firms. Feeling grateful for the educational opportunities that brought him from a disadvantaged youth, he wanted to give something back to his community. He resigned from his firm after a year and signed on as a Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney. Soon he joined the “Hardcore Gang Murder Unit,” where he specialized in the prosecution of L.A.’s most notorious street gangs, the Crips and Bloods. Within five years, California Lawyer Magazine named him one of the state’s most effective prosecutors. Governor George Deukmejian appointed then 31-year old
Jim Rogan to serve as judge of what is now the Los Angeles County Superior Court. During his four-year tenure on the bench, Jim's colleagues elected him presiding judge of their local court.
