CHIEF JUDGE JONATHAN LIPPMAN TO SPEAK AT CRIME COMMISSION BREAKFAST— 3/16/20.

Chief Judge Lippman’s remarks will focus on juvenile justice reform, along with announcing a plan for a community court in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and the introduction of a bill which will place juvenile probation supervision under the control of the judiciary.

 

Chief Judge Lippman’s career in the court system spans four decades, starting as an entry level court attorney and including service as a law clerk in Supreme Court and Surrogate’s Court, and, from 1996 to 2007, Chief Administrative Judge of all New York State Courts--the longest anyone has served in that capacity. In 2008, he received the William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence, an award given annually by the National Center for State Courts to one state court judge chosen from throughout the country.
