NY Top Judge’s Intervention in Critic’s Case Alarms Ethicists
Ethics & Professional Responsibility Partner Ronald C. Minkoff is quoted in the article, “NY Top Judge's Intervention in Critic's Case Alarms Ethicists” published by Law360. The article discusses the investigation of New York Chief Judge Janet DiFiore who sent a letter to the judicial hearing officer presiding over a disciplinary hearing of the New York State Court Officers Association president Dennis Quirk. The letter urged punishment for the Quirk, who had sent an email threatening to circulate a scandalous story about the Judge. Ron is quoted saying, "The letter suggests that the judge was trying to put her finger on the scales in the disciplinary proceeding" and "No matter how provoked she was — and she was indeed provoked — she shouldn't have let Mr. Quirk's conduct get under her skin." Ron adds, “Even after Judge DiFiore leaves the judiciary, it's theoretically possible she could face discipline by an attorney grievance committee, which is empowered to mete out penalties ranging from a suspended law license to disbarment.”
