: Ms. JDNew York Governor David Paterson Rejects All-Male Judicial Appointment List of Candidates
By Anonymous
On Wednesday, December 3rd, New York Governor David Paterson held a press conference where he critized a list of candidates for chief judge of the state Court of Appeals. "I don't accept," he said, "that there wasn't a woman in this state that was qualified to serve on the Court of Appeals."
The list of candidates was issued by a state commission. Under state law, the governor technically must choose a candidate from amongst the commission's selection of candidates. By refusing to accept the commission's list of candidates, Governor Paterson is entering previously unchartered water. He has asked New York Attorney General to look into whether it is possible to expand the list of possible candidates or change the selection process entirely.
