On Oct. 17, the New York Law Journal ran a front-page headline entitled, “High Court Removes Two Judges,” accompanied by two adjoining but separate lengthy articles detailing the reasons for each judge’s removal. The second article was accompanied by a photograph of the judge removed, a female judge of color.
The Judicial Friends Association and the Latino Judges Association write jointly to express our deep concern regarding the implicit bias reflected by the New York Law Journal. To the extent you decided to publish any photographs, we wonder why you chose to publish solely the photograph of the female judge of color.
