For many years I have had the genuine pleasure of co-authoring this column with Myrna Perez, who, as you probably know, is moving on. President Biden has nominated her for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. I am thrilled for her and know she will be a first-rate judge. Congratulations Myrna!
