In 2000, California Governor Gray Davis appointed her to the San Francisco Superior Court.[1] In 2012, she announced her retriement from the judgeship; Judge Cynthia Ming-mei Lee will replace her as presiding judge.[1] During her career, Feinstein founded several initiatives including SQUIRES, a "scared straight" program that which matched juvenile delinquents with convicts serving life sentences at San Quentin State Prison; and a program that jailed drunks who skip their court dates unless they enter a treatment program.[1]
In 2016, she was named by California Governor Jerry Brown to the Medical Board of California.[4] Later in 2016, she was once again named presiding judge of the San Francisco Superior Court.[3] The court is composed of 52 judges and twelve commissioners.[5]
