INTRODUCTION Since its creation in 1972, the New York Housing Court (here- inafter "housing court") has been "widely regarded as an ineffec- tive institution that has not fulfilled its mandate of preserving the City's housing stock."2 "Despite the Legislature's broad delegation of power to the housing court, it has never been accorded the stat- ure or resources essential to fulfill its vital role." 3 This fact has not escaped the attention of legal scholars who have recently addressed problems of the housing court.

  • Chief Judge Kaye's Legacy of Innovation and Access To
    CHIEF JUDGE KAYE’S LEGACY OF INNOVATION AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE HELAINE M. BARNETT* Chief Judge Judith Kaye and I were lifelong friends. We attended Barnard College and NYU Law School together, although she was two grades ahead of me.1 I recall with great pride, when she was Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, she gave the keynote address at my retirement party from Legal Aid,2 and gave special remarks that were quoted in the press coverage announcing my appointment as President of the Legal Services Corporation.3 And I remember with a smile when she would have dinner at my home; she would have a lively, fun-loving, competitive interaction with my hus- band as to their addiction to family photo albums. Judith was brilliant, compassionate, a doer, and had an amazing work ethic. She was a cherished friend to me as she was to so many others, and left an enduring legacy. I am so pleased to be part of this tribute to her extraordinary judicial legacy. Some of the contributions will focus on Chief Judge Kaye’s judi- cial opinions, but when she became Chief Judge, she had to take on effectively a second full-time job. Not only was she the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, but she was also the Chief Judge of the State of New York, and in that capacity, she was the CEO of a massive court system. Throughout her career as Chief, she sought to innovate and improve court administration and became a national leader in many areas of court and justice reforms.

    KRANE.FINAL.PAUL.5-01-07.DOC 6/16/2007 4:45:35 PM DEDICATION TO JUDITH S. KAYE Steven C. Krane* What can you say about the longest serving chief judge in the history of the Court of Appeals that has not already been said? What superlative can you use to describe a woman who has transformed the position of chief executive officer of the New York State court system that does not seem inadequate or trite? How can you possibly pay tribute to one of the great jurists of our time in a few short pages? The answers to all these questions are obvious. You cannot do justice to the Chief Judge through mere words. Many, including this writer, have tried mightily, and volumes of words have been uttered in various combinations in an effort to describe the transcendent nature of this great New Yorker’s contributions to New York—all without avail. But words are all we have sometimes, and we often just have to make do. I have been asked to pay tribute to a woman who was not just a brilliant jurist, but a role model for women and men alike. It is a daunting task, but a joyous one at the same time. I had the great honor to serve as a law clerk to Judith Kaye, then the junior Associate Judge on the Court of Appeals. Had she been able to drive—she never earned her driver’s license—Judith Kaye would have driven a car bearing a “Court of Appeals 7” license plate.

The new law bans the use of shackles on women at all stages of pregnancy and for eight weeks post-partum, building upon a 2009 law that banned the use of restraints on women during childbirth. Prior to the law’s enactment, New York state prisons and jails routinely shackled women throughout their pregnancy and during the post-partum period. Two of the most common situations involving shackling are trips for medical appointments, which can happen weekly as a pregnant woman nears her due date, and trips between prisons, which can take more than 10 hours. Shackling causes pregnant women physical and psychological pain. It heightens the risk of blood clots, limits the mobility needed for a safe pregnancy and delivery, and increases the risk of falling, which can cause serious injury and even death to the fetus.
