About Hon. Jo-Lynne Lee
Hon. Jo-Lynne Lee (Ret.) brings more than four decades of legal experience to her role as a neutral, including over 20 years on the bench and two decades as a civil litigator and court-appointed Special Master. Appointed to the Alameda County Superior Court in 2002, she made history as the first Asian-American female judge appointed to that court and served with distinction for more than two decades.
Judge Lee now focuses her practice on mediation, arbitration, and discovery reference in complex civil matters, including personal injury, wage and hour, environmental, mass torts, business torts, construction, landlord-tenant, and commercial contract disputes.
While on the bench, Judge Lee served in the court’s settlement department, where she mediated approximately five to ten cases per week, helping parties resolve disputes involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, workplace disputes, landlord-tenant conflicts, partnership breakups, and a wide range of business and commercial issues. She is especially adept at identifying and addressing the underlying emotional, strategic, and financial drivers of impasse and brings a steady, pragmatic mindset to negotiation.
