New York State Bar Association Decries Threats on Judges
3.13.2025
Domenick Napoletano, president of the New York State Bar Association, issued the following statement today condemning threats to judges:
“In his end of the year report on the state of the federal judiciary last year, Chief Justice John Roberts warned: ‘A judicial system cannot and should not live in fear.’ As we hear reports again this year of increasing threats to judges, this is not a partisan issue. All Americans whatever their political persuasion should speak out against threats to judges. For democracy to work, we want all judges to be free to decide cases and issue rulings without fear for their safety or that of their families. They cannot defend themselves, but we can, and we must.”
