Senate Confirms Law Professor to NYS Court of Appeals
I must express how elated I am at the confirmation of Prof. Jenny Rivera to the NYS Court of Appeals. Congratulations to our beloved sister and pray God will guide her deliberations on the bench. It was indeed a people's victory and demonstrates what can happen when our legal community, elected officials and activists come together to support one of our own. I have come to believe that nothing is more important the cementing the unity of our people.
