EDCA Federal Defender Dan Broderick announced his retirement, effective at the end of the calendar year, so he can devote more time to travelling, teaching, and writing. Sounds like an upgrade from practicing law. He is giving notice now to give the Ninth Circuit time to go through the formal process to pick a replacement. A big thanks for all he's done for criminal defense in the EDCA. Here's wishing Dan well in his future endeavors.
