Gutierrez at the United States District Court for the Central District of California. I hold a law degree, earned summa cum laude from Southwestern Law School. Currently, I am an adjunct professor at the same institution, specifically in the Appellate Litigation Clinic.

My academic and extracurricular efforts were recognized with the Judge Barry Russell Federal Practice Award. Additionally, I achieved accolades as the best oralist in the Herbert Wechsler National Criminal Law Moot Court Competition and the Leroy R.
