Asian Americans are increasingly recognized in New York's judicial system, demonstrated at the recent 'Trailblazers' event celebrating prominent judges. Hon. Nisha Menon emphasized the importance of representation in courts, stating that the judiciary should reflect the population it serves. Judges Rena Malik, John Wang, and Danny Chun are key figures, each breaking significant barriers within the system. Malik highlighted the lack of role models in the legal field during her youth, ultimately finding her passion for law in college, underscoring the need for visibility in diverse professional paths.
It's important that the court system reflects the people who come through it.
You can't be what you can't see.
I decided that law school was where I was meant to be.
I simply knew what I want.
