ALBANY – In 1994, Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick (See Profile) made history by becoming the first Hispanic judge on the state Court of Appeals. Since then, she has written some of the court’s most significant decisions, breaking new ground on issues such as school funding [Campaign for Fiscal Equity v. State of New York, 86 NY2d 307 (1995)], the separation of church and state [Grumet v. Cuomo, 90 NY2d 57 (1997)], and the death penalty [People v. Taylor, 9 NY3d 129 (2007)].
Yet despite the flurry of honors and accolades that accompany the departure of a long-tenured and distinguished Court of Appeals’ judge, Ciparick is taking her leave much as she performed on the benchquietly, and quick to praise her colleagues and the institution of the court in a way that deflects attention from herself and her accomplishments.
