Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye, who passed away at age 77 on January 6, 2016, left us some unfinished business to do: court reform. In 1998 Judge Kaye lobbied for a constitutional amendment that would have consolidated and simplified the New York trial court system. She hoped to get the legislative approval for a constitutional amendment and the required referendum during the 1998 and 1999 legislative sessions, followed by a vote on the referendum at the 2000 election.

Two weeks ago, the Center for New York Law at New York Law School mourned the loss of Judge Judith S. Kaye. The Center was privileged to have Judge Kaye speak on three occasions at its CityLaw Breakfast series. Judge Kaye first visited New York Law School on March 6, 1998 and addressed the issue of Court Reform. The video from her speech was recently recovered and has now been digitally uploaded for the public to view. Please click below to watch and listen to Judge Kaye’s full presentation. (read more…)

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.

Judge Judith S. Kaye delivered these remarks at the CityLaw Breakfast on October 18, 2013.
A little more than three years ago—on August 27, 2010, to be precise—I had the privilege of standing before you as part of the CityLaw Breakfast Series. I began by complimenting all of you, as I do today, for arriving at the crack of dawn to chew on the subject of justice for breakfast.
On that beautiful summer day, I was at the time a not-long-retired Chief Judge of the State of New York, a position I call Lawyer Heaven, having moved into a pretty terrific “After-Life” as Of Counsel at Skadden Arps. Skadden not only invited but also encouraged the pursuit of my passion for juvenile justice. (read more…)
