James M. Carter and Judith N. Keep U.S. Courthouse History
The James M. Carter and Judith N. Keep U.S. Courthouse, also known as the Carter-Keep Courthouse, includes courtrooms, judges chambers, offices and courtroom galleries of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, along with offices of the Internal Revenue Service and the General Services Administration.
When the building opened in March 2013 it was San Diego's third federal courthouse. It was named for two former judges, James M. Carter and USD School of Law alumna Judith N. Keep '70 (JD), at a ceremony on March 30, 2015. U.S. Representatives Susan Davis and Scott Peters sponsored the federal legislation to name the building for the two judges after surveying local community groups.
