Here’s a federal appellate trivia tidbit: Having met Ninth Circuit Judge Owens earlier this evening now enables me to say that I have had the privilege of meeting at social gatherings all (or, more accurately, both) U.S. Court of Appeals judges whose last names begin with “Owen” (the other being Fifth Circuit Judge Priscilla R. Owen, who I had the pleasure of meeting at a recent Fifth Circuit Judicial Conference in New Orleans).
