"I was always the guy [who] had a whole group of associates working under me, and I wouldn't put up with anybody yelling at me for anything," Golper said with a chuckle. "I've had lawyers that used to work for me [that] I'm now the mediator on their case [say], 'Well, how come you're not yelling at me? When I used to work for you, and I didn't get something right, you'd yell at me.'"

A 1975 graduate of UCLA School of Law, Golper worked for nearly five decades as a labor and employment litigator, routinely representing clients on the management side of those disputes. Golper started work, however, as a full time neutral for ADR Services, Inc. in January of 2024, a decision sparked, in part, by time he spent volunteering for the Central District.
