Top NY Judge Misled Lawmakers To Justify DiFiore’s Detail
Ethics & Professional Responsibility Chair Ronald C. Minkoff is quoted in the article, “Top NY Judge Misled Lawmakers To Justify DiFiore’s Detail” published by Law360. The article discusses the recent testimony by acting Chief Administrative Judge Tamiko Amaker, that defended former Chief Judge Janet DiFiore’s seven-year multimillion-dollar security detail.
