Who are CD Cal and ND Cal judges who are known for being great mentors? Also, is there a difference between CD Cal and ND Cal in terms of prestige? What about the docket?

ND Cal is definitely more prestigious than CD. Their docket has a lot of interesting technology related matters, which span much further than just antitrust, IP, or standard commercial matters.

I would rank district court prestige as: 1a) DDC 1b) SDNY 3) NDCAL 4) EDNY 5) CDCAL. Then the rest. Though I could definitely see some people arguing that SDNY has surpassed DDC.

In general, I think you can assume most judges are good mentors, unless otherwise warned.
