The City of New York is bringing some judicial experience to the post of civilian representative on the police committee tracking compliance with restrictions on surveillance of Muslims or other religious groups.
Stephen Robinson, a former Southern District judge who is partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, was named by Mayor Bill de Blasio to be the representative on the Handschu Committee, created to ensure the NYPD complies with guidelines for investigations into political activity and terrorism.
