Judge Judith S. Kaye

We at New York Law School mourn Judith S. Kaye who passed away at age 77 on January 6. 2016.  Judge Kaye spoke three times at New York Law School’s CityLaw Breakfasts. In those talks she shared her passion for challenges that mattered to her: court reform and juvenile justice.The Center for New York City Law was fortunate to have taped her remarks. To get a sense of her intelligence and capacity to move people to action, click here to see her talks on juvenile justice. You may also read her 2013 speech on keeping kids in school and out of courts.

She was a great Chief Judge who served with dignity and authority. Her opinions for the Court will be studied by generations of law students. She successfully urged reforms that were unimaginable before she took charge. Universal jury service for one is now enshrined in our law for everyone.

Thank you Chief Judge Kaye.

In this season of Thanksgiving, the Center for New York City Law has so many things to be thankful for. As 2015 winds down, our events and publications are enjoying record breaking successes this year.

Without the kind and generous support of our donors-individuals like you-the Center for New York City Law would not be what it is today. For this we thank you.

During this time for giving, we ask you to support our Center’s successes. There are so many worthy causes out there, and like you, we are asked to support many of them, too. I hope that you continue to make the Center for New York City Law at New York Law School, our students and our civic minded programs, one of your highest philanthropic priorities. I ask you to be as generous as you can and please know in advance how grateful we and our students are to you.
