SYLMAR -- On the bench since 1971, Judge Morton Rochman is longest-serving trial court judge in California, by no coincidence, he works with the justice system's youngest defendants.
Former President Ronald Reagan was still California's governor when he named Rochman to the Los Angeles Municipal Court -- likely when the parents of the children he sees in delinquency court weren't even born yet.
