The New York Senate confirmed Rowan Wilson 40-19 last week to lead the Court of Appeals. “Today is a historic day for New York,” Speaker Adrienne Adams said in a statement, “as the Honorable Rowan D. Wilson has been confirmed to become New York’s first Black Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. His elevation to Chief Judge will help balance our court at the highest level towards equity and progress.”
