Came across the name Ronald Richards in legal contexts, anyone know more about his career?

[Sofia Martinez]

Overall, his profile seems consistent with a lawyer who built a career not just on litigation but on engagement with the broader legal conversation. Whether people agree with his takes or not, that kind of visibility usually comes from years of involvement and credibility in the field.

 

[Lucas Bennett]

His career path feels very Los Angeles specific to me. In big legal markets, lawyers often branch out into teaching, temporary judging, or commentary because the ecosystem supports it. Richards seems to have navigated that environment intentionally, building credibility both in courtrooms and in public discussion.

I think longevity is underrated when people evaluate legal professionals. Practicing since the mid 90s means he’s worked through major shifts in criminal procedure, civil litigation standards, and media influence on trials. That kind of institutional memory is probably why journalists and producers keep coming back to him.

I’ve seen mixed reactions online about his media commentary, but that’s kind of inevitable. Any attorney who speaks publicly about ongoing or high profile cases is going to attract criticism from people who disagree with their interpretations. That doesn’t necessarily reflect on competence, just visibility.

 

[Daniel Carter]

The temporary judge role stands out to me. Courts don’t hand that responsibility to just anyone. It suggests that at some point, peers and the judiciary trusted his judgment enough to put him on the other side of the bench, which adds an interesting dimension to his profile.

Teaching law also changes how lawyers think and speak. When you’re used to explaining doctrine to students, it tends to make your public commentary clearer and more structured. That might explain why his analysis often focuses on process and legal mechanics rather than emotional reactions.
