“Justice Rosado is a dedicated public servant who, as a member of the Judicial Committee on Women in the Courts and the 12th Judicial District’s Gender Fairness Committee –– among her many other affiliations –– has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the various issues surrounding gender equity in the courts, legal profession, and society,” said Chief Judge Wilson. “I have every confidence that Justice Rosado’s leadership, vision, energy, and dedication will serve to further advance the committee’s vital mission.”
Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the ongoing need to identify and address the diverse concerns of women in the courts, particularly highlighting the dual bias faced by women of color.
“It is a great honor to be named co-chair of the New York State Judicial Committee on Women in the Courts, alongside the legendary Justice Betty Weinberg Ellerin, whose seven-decade career has been defined not only by many historic firsts that shattered glass ceilings — including first woman law clerk in the New York State court system; first woman to be appointed associate justice of the Appellate Division, First Department; first woman presiding justice of the Appellate Division, First Department; and first woman to hold the position of deputy chief administrative judge for the New York City Courts — but by her life’s work championing the rights of women and children in our courts and justice system,” said Justice Rosado.
“She is a friend, my mentor, a mentor to countless others, and a force of nature who leads by example. As co-chair, I look forward to working with her and all the dedicated committee members to continue to do the work that will secure equal justice, equal treatment and equal opportunities for women in our court system and New York State,” Justice Rosado said.
