Sec. 7100.0. Preamble

Latest version.

Under the Constitution and laws of the State of New York, the Commission on Judicial Nomination is entrusted with responsibility for evaluating, and then recommending to the Governor, candidates to fill vacancies on the State's highest court, the Court of Appeals of the State of New York. These rules implement the overarching constitutional and statutory mandate that the commission vigorously seek out, carefully evaluate and then nominate to the Governor well qualified candidates from the extraordinary, diverse community of lawyers admitted to practice in New York State for at least 10 years. The commission seeks to discharge this duty with diligence and transparency in a manner consistent with the confidentiality provisions of the Judiciary Law.
