My Journey to the Commercial Division, A World Class Business Court
One of the great joys of my professional career is the 21 years that I spent as a Justice of the New York State Supreme Court Commercial Division. The work was challenging and required a great deal of creativity and effort and sometimes extraordinary patience, but the rewards were always beyond measure. It gave me the opportunity to be part of one of the world’s best business courts and to work and to collaborate with outstanding practitioners and jurists. Having been there since the early days of the Commercial Division I also had the privilege of working with those such as Justice Judith Kaye and Bob Haig, whose efforts brought the concept to life and provided me with the opportunity to participate in establishing its rules and to shape its practices and to shape its practices and to watch it grow and thrive to the point where it is now.
