The newly formed Asian American Judges Association of New York (AAJANY) met with their Asian American colleagues on the federal bench on April 23 and were hosted by U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Judge Denny Chin (back row, left) for a tour of the courthouse.

AAJANY was formed to address issues affecting Asian American judges, staff and litigants in the state courts, to promote more diversity within the bar and the judiciary, and to advance the inclusion of judges of Asian descent at all levels of the state court system.
