Judge Peter B. Foor ’67 has retired after more than 20 years serving on the Solano County Superior Court in California. Prior to his judicial appointment, Foor served as a Solano County deputy public defender.
He was known in the court not only for his excellent lawyering skills, but for his unique style—sporting a signature long ponytail as he advocated for his clients. In 1997, after devoting 13 years to public defense, Foor was appointed to the Superior Court. Since then, he has spent most of his career presiding over serious felony criminal cases.
Foor, a decorated veteran, earned his bachelor’s degree from Whittier College after leading Marine troops in the Vietnam War. He went on to earn his juris doctorate from Golden Gate University Law School.
