The New York County Lawyers Association (NYCLA) has a long history of defending sitting judges when they are unfairly attacked by litigants before them or in press coverage. Because rules of judicial conduct largely prevent judges from defending themselves from such attacks, NYCLA considers it an important role of a bar association to provide that defense.
The indictment of former President Donald Trump has attracted massive press coverage. Almost lost in the avalanche of news stories are the hyperbolic and unsupported attacks that Trump has launched at Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, the judge presiding over Trump’s criminal case.
