-: My name is Bill Hayes,
and currently I'm a federal district court judge
in the Southern District of California.
Well, the cases are, Southern District
of California is a very busy federal district court.
So we have a large criminal practice,
lot of drug cases, lot of immigration cases,
and we have a variety of civil cases.
Most of us have one day where we
do what's called a calendar day,
where we'll handle a lot of criminal cases,
we'll do motion hearings and sentencings,
and some civil motions.
And the other four days are usually reserved for trials.
