New York's legal community celebrated AAPI Heritage Month with a gala hosted by the Asian American Judges Association of New York, recognizing progress in representation within the judiciary. Though the number of Asian American judges has seen an increase from under 3% in 2020 to 5% in 2024, the community still does not reflect the AAPI population's 9.8% representation in New York State. The event showcased the growth of AAJANY, from eight founding members to over 150 attendees, emphasizing both pride in accomplishments and the need for continued advocacy for equal representation.
"The Asian American Judges Association of New York has celebrated significant growth in representation within the judiciary, honoring both achievements and the ongoing need for progress."
"While the number of Asian American judges has increased significantly, there is still a notable gap compared to the AAPI population in New York, indicating more work is required."
