State Senator Brad Hoylman, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said: “I’m happy that it appears the Commission on Judicial Nomination has answered the call by elected officials and judicial advocates to select a diverse list of candidates for the vacancy of Chief Judge of the NYS Court of Appeals.

I thank the commissioners for presenting Governor Hochul a robust selection and thank the candidates for putting themselves forward and modeling the very best of the legal profession. I look forward to learning more about each of the candidates in the coming weeks.”
