Two Appellate Division justices, Marcy Kahn of the First Department and Elizabeth Garry of the Third Department, will co-chair a new commission to address LGBT concerns within the justice system and the legal profession, the Office of Court Administration announced Wednesday.

Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks said the group will work with them to promote access to the courts and to the legal profession, regardless of people’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
