Biographical Notes:
 John Leo Wagner is a former United States Magistrate Judge. He was appointed at age 31 and served for 12 years on the federal bench, from 1985 through 1997. He established and administered his court's mediation program, and served as one of its principal ADR neutrals. He mediated federal cases of all kinds, but concentrated on the court's most difficult and complex cases. He was appointed by former Chief Justice Renquist to the Court Administration and Case Management Committee of the U.S. Judicial Conference and served on its ADR Task Force. He has extensive trial experience, both on and off the bench.
After leaving the bench in 1997, he headed the ADR practice group at Los Angeles-based Irell & Manella LLP , where he continued his practice as an ADR neutral and served as the Director of the firm's ADR Center in Newport Beach. After nearly 8 years with Irell & Manella, he left the firm in March of 2005 and established an exclusive relationship with Judicate West Alternative Dispute Resolution. His practice now includes both mediation and arbitration, but is weighted to mediation of difficult, complex or multi-party disputes. These include business, intellectual property, class action, environmental and toxic tort cases. He also routinely mediates professional malpractice cases, catastrophic injury cases, employment cases, insurance coverage disputes and bad faith claims.
Education:
 Judge Wagner received his JD from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 1979. He received Advanced Mediation Training while on the federal bench through the Federal Judicial Center and Endispute, Inc. He attended the Harvard University Law School Program of Instruction for Lawyers. He has since served as an ADR instructor and trainer for many distinguished organizations, including the International Academy of Mediators, the Federal Judicial Center, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, Pepperdine University's Strauss Institute of Dispute Resolution and the American Bar Association.
