EXCERPT:
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing mounting criticism after four Jewish bar associations accused his administration of excluding Jewish representation from a newly appointed judicial advisory committee despite City Hall describing the panel as a “truly representative cross-section” of the city’s legal profession.
Backed by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the organizations are demanding that Mamdani revise the 19-member committee.
The panel plays a key role in screening and recommending candidates for judgeships across New York City’s Criminal, Family, and Civil Courts.
The controversy comes as concerns over antisemitism continue to grow across New York City.
