ALBANY – For only the second time in history, a New York appellate court has a black man at the helm.
Governor Pataki yesterday designated Milton L. Williams of the Bronx as presiding justice of the Appellate Division, First Department. Justice Williams, who is black, is one of a relatively few number of minorities promoted by Governor Pataki within the judiciary. There has only been one other black to sit as an Appellate Division presiding justice. Judge Harold A. Stevens served in that role, also in the First Department, in the early 1970s before going to the Court of Appeals.
