After more than nineteen years on the bench, Judge Clayton Brennan has announced his retirement from the Mendocino County Superior Court bench. His retirement date is October 31, 2025.
Judge Brennan was elected to the bench in 2006 and initially presided in the Willits branch courthouse. He transferred to the Ten Mile courthouse in Fort Bragg in 2011, replacing retiring Judge Jonathan Lehan, when the Willits branch was permanently closed. Judge Brennan has spent his entire judicial career in Mendocino branch courthouses, presiding over all case types from serious criminal cases to complex civil cases, family law and probate. Prior to joining the bench, Brennan was in private practice for many years, handling civil and criminal cases and specializing in employment, discrimination, personal injury, wrongful death and complex civil matters. He also served as a deputy district attorney early in his career. Judge Brennan earned a Juris Doctorate degree from University of California, San Diego in 1990.
Judge Brennan is known as even-tempered and mindful of the financial and other social challenges that face many defendants and litigants in the Mendocino community. He has been an advocate for ensuring that court fines and fees are fair and affordable. He has presided over Behavioral Health Court for many years, working closely with defendants with underlying mental health issues that often contribute to their law violations. He is deeply rooted in the Mendocino coastal community. Reflecting on his time in public service, Judge Brennan said, “I’ve enjoyed my career and feel very privileged to have worked with so many talented and dedicated people. We have a difficult and stressful job, but it’s also interesting and rewarding.”
Presiding Judge Keith Faulder acknowledged Judge Brennan’s contributions to the public and said, “Judge Brennan’s judicial temperament, sense of humor and ability to preside over any case type will be missed. We all wish him well.”
