“With their wealth of legal experience, these appointees represent all five boroughs and all walks of life. “To ensure New Yorkers have access to a fair, equitable justice system, we need judges who are qualified, honest and reflective of the people of this city,” said De Blasio. The mayor appoints judges to 10-year terms in the New York City Criminal Court and the Family Court within the city.
Rajeswari took the oath of office at a ceremony in New York on Monday along with 27 other judges appointed earlier this month to the Family Court, Criminal Court, and Civil Court, all of which are part of the New York State Unified Court System. Rajeswari, 43, who immigrated to the US from India as a teenager, previously worked with the Richmond County District Attorney’s Office for her entire career in several bureaus including Criminal Court, Narcotics, Supreme Court, and the Sex Crimes Special Victims Bureau, where she last served as Deputy Chief.
New York: When New York Mayor Bill de Blasio swore in Raja Rajeswari as a criminal court judge, she became the first India-born woman to be appointed a judge in New York City.
