Hon. Joseph R. Brisco (Ret.) is a JAMS neutral who brings decades of judicial and litigation experience to his ADR practice. He joined JAMS following 21 years as a judge with the San Bernardino County Superior Court. During that time, he served as supervising judge of the Civil Division and presiding judge of the Appellate Division. In addition, for several years, he was assigned to hear all of the writs of mandate in the county.

Prior to taking the bench, Judge Brisco spent 14 years as a civil litigator in San Diego, where he handled serious and catastrophic injury cases--involving deaths, brain injuries and amputations--arising from products liability, premises liability and motor vehicle accidents. He also served on the San Diego County Arbitration Panel.

Judge Brisco has presided over hundreds of jury trials and bench trials. He has extensive and diverse experience resolving disputes, including cases involving business/commercial, employment, medical malpractice, real estate and personal injury issues, including boating accidents. His practice is entirely focused on arbitration.

Judge Brisco has a reputation for being prompt and thoroughly prepared. He manages his cases efficiently, with a touch of levity and humor. He is regarded by counsel as firm but fair.
