Judge Edward Chen Before Senate 01
I filed a motion for recusal and a supporting affidavit. Mr. Chen refused to recuse himself from the case, Docket Entry No. 151, 152, 154. In his answer to the Senate Questionnaire, Mr. Chen stated that he “denied the request because the plaintiff was claiming bias based solely on an adverse ruling I had issued.” However, as I found out recently, Mr. Chen received a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley in 1975, and J.D. from U.C. Berkeley School of Law in 1979. A search of Chen’s name at www.law.berkeley.edu reveals that Mr. Chen has been giving seminars at the defendant school, and presumably been receiving compensation for his work at defendant school. Mr. Chen was also listed as a significant donor to U.C. Berkeley law school in 2007-2008. In his answer to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Chen concealed the fact that U.C. Berkeley and its officials were named defendants in my case, represented by Gaylynn Kirn Conant, also a U.C. Berkeley graduate.
