Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the appointment and reappointment of more than two dozen family, criminal and civil court judges in New York City Friday. The appointments included two new family court judges, as well as eight new members of the criminal bench. All of the new appointments were previously named as interim judges in 2017.

“The seasoned, committed and impartial judges appointed today are what New Yorkers deserve in court,” de Blasio said in a statement. “I look forward to working with these new and re-appointed judges, who have the diverse experience, both personally and professionally, to represent the best interest of all who call this great city home.”

Two new family court judges will join three additional family court judges reappointed by the mayor. Both Judge Alison Hamanjian and Elenor Reid have been serving as interim members of the civil bench since last year, with both serving in family court.

Hamanjian is a veteran of the state's court system, having served in various capacities inside the system for 12 years, rising to assistant deputy counsel for the policy and planning office.

Reid previously served as an attorney in the city's law department, including its family court division. She also served as a court attorney and principal law clerk for 16 years.

Among de Blasio's new criminal court judges were a number of former prosecutors at both the state and federal level. Judge Joseph McCormack spent 31 years in the Bronx DA's office, rising to chief of the trial division. Judge Jerry Iannece likewise came out of the Bronx DA's office, before a three-decade career as a private attorney. Judge Scott Dunn served for more than two decades as an assistant U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, eventually becoming chief of immigration litigation.

Other appointees came from the ranks of public defenders, such as Judge Tara Collins, who served with the Legal Aid Society's criminal defense practice in a number of capacities for nearly two decades. Other private practice attorneys were included as well, such as Judge Christopher Robles, who was a litigator for nearly two decades before joining the bench.
