“Public safety is my top priority. We cannot protect the safety of the public without a well-functioning court system. We need to attract and retain talented judges and we need our courts to fairly and promptly dispense justice. That is why I asked my appointees to the Commission on Legislative, Judicial, and Executive Compensation to support an increase in compensation for judges in New York. I also worked with the Office of Court Administration to identify key reforms to strengthen the court system and areas where we could partner together to improve the administration of justice in New York. These reforms include a surge in resources to family court, increased data transparency, an expansion in the number of problem-solving courts and a plan to reduce the backlog in cases related to violent offenders. I am grateful to the new leadership at OCA, including Chief Judge Wilson and Chief Administrative Judge Zayas, for their partnership and shared commitment to putting these key reforms in place and to a system that is just, fair and keeps New Yorkers safe.”
