Judge Perez, elected to the Civil Court of the City of New York in 2023, has nearly three decades of experience as a prosecutor, public defender, and private practitioner. A founding and advisory board member of our association, she has long championed Latino representation in the legal profession. Her nomination is a milestone of resilience and community representation.
