Yesterday, the New York Senate confirmed Associate Judge Rowan Wilson as New York’s next Chief Judge by a vote of 40–19. Judge Wilson makes history as New York’s first Black Chief Judge. Congrats to Chief Judge Wilson!
Although the Senate has not yet confirmed Caitlin Halligan to assume the associate-judge vacancy created by Judge Wilson’s elevation, it is expected to act on Halligan’s nomination today.
