NYS Courts Celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month

Among all the UCS commemorations in May of Jewish American Heritage was one in Suffolk County spotlighting, “Jewish Contributions to the Great American Song Book.”

IN THE NEWS: ‘The courts don’t work without them’: New York judges recognize Court Clerk Appreciation Day

Throughout the month of May we celebrate the essential work that Court Clerks do to keep our Court System running.

On Wednesday, May 20th, the historic rotunda at New York County Supreme Court Civil term became a venue for that celebration. Court clerks from across New York came together to be recognized for their hard work and dedication to the administration of justice.

“You represent what is supposed to be good about the system,” said Manhattan County Clerk and former Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling. “You represent what people are looking for when they come to the court, and that is an awesome responsibility.”

IN THE NEWS: Keeping justice moving: Inside the unseen world of New York’s court clerks

May is Court Clerk Appreciation Month, and a recent article by reporter Max Parrot for anNYLaw shines a spotlight on the vital work of New York’s Court Clerks. Described as “the engine that keeps New York State’s courts in motion,” the piece highlights the essential role clerks play in keeping our justice system running smoothly.

Valerie James, Chief Clerk of Syracuse City Court, and Yesenia Herrera, Court Clerk Specialist, share their firsthand experiences and the unique challenges clerks navigate as the public-facing backbone of the courts.

We’re continuing the celebration this Wednesday, May 20th, with a Court Clerk Appreciation Ceremony at New York County Supreme Court, Civil Term, 60 Centre Street. It’s an opportunity for Court Clerks from across the system to come together and be recognized for their hard work, professionalism, and dedication to the NYS Unified Court System.

Additionally, courthouses across the State will be holding their own celebrations to honor our Court Clerks and acknowledge the crucial work they perform every day.
