Chief Administrative Judge A. Gail Prudenti and former Appellate Division, Second Department, Justice Barry Cozier will lead a commission created by Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman to study the state's attorney discipline system and recommend improvements.
Prudenti, who has been chief administrative judge since 2011, said the commission would seek to “reshape attorney discipline” to meet concerns that Lippman expressed during his 2015 State of the Judiciary Address about the current hearing system.
In that speech, Lippman called for a “top-to-bottom review of the system throughout the state to assess what is working well and what can work better, and to offer recommendations on fundamentally reshaping attorney discipline in New York” (NYLJ, Feb. 18).
