Chief Judge Janet DiFiore will conduct a public hearing Monday on the state’s unmet civil legal services needs, the Unified Court System announced Sept. 15.
DiFiore will preside over the hearing, where several top legal officials are slated to provide testimony, including Alphonso David, chief counsel to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Also expected to provide testimony is Kenneth C. Frazier—the CEO of the pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Inc. who recently departed President Donald Trump’s manufacturing council over the president’s failure to condemn white supremacists—president of the New York City Bar John Kiernan and C. Randall Hinrichs, the administrative judge of Suffolk County.
