Senior Judge Leonard Wexler, a U.S. District Court judge for the Eastern District of New York who was proud of how many cases he was still hearing at age 93, died over the weekend.
“When I’m not trying cases, I’m bored,” Wexler told the New York Law Journal in a recent interview. “During the month of June, I try five or six jury cases. Some judges don’t do that in a year.”
