Franklin H. Williams Judicial Commission Law Day 2022

The Franklin H. Williams Judicial Commission (“Commission”) is composed of judges, attorneys, and court administrators appointed by the Chief Judge of the State of New York to develop strategies to make the court system more responsive to the concerns of people of color and to improve diversity in the legal profession and court system.  One important aspect of the Commission’s mission is to ensure that the New York State Court System reflects the rich diversity of our State and to serve as a pipeline for young people of color into the legal profession and court system.  The Commission is led by Co-Chairs, Hon. Troy K. Webber, Associate Judge, Appellate Division, First Department, and Hon. Richard Rivera, Acting Supreme Court Justice of the Third Judicial District and Supervising Family Court Judge of the Third Judicial District.

Join us on Friday, April 29, 2022 for the Commission’s annual Law Day program involving law students and Commission members to discuss this year’s Law Day theme, “Toward a More Perfect Union: The Constitution in Times of Change.”
