Rose Rubin, a retired state Supreme Court judge and former chief judge of New York City’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) who blazed a trail for women in the legal profession, died Thursday. She was 99.

Rubin was born in Brooklyn and spent her life in New York City. She was one of three women in New York University School of Law’s class of 1942, which was composed of about 120 students.
