NYCLA is pleased to see that New York State's Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation has voted unanimously to recommend a 10.3% salary increase for our States judiciary, effective April 1, 2024, the start of the State's next fiscal year. This is the first raise our State's judges and justice have received since 2019, during a period of significant inflation.

We stand with Governor Hochul in denouncing all forms of racial, religious, ethnic, and national prejudice – and in denouncing Antisemitism in particular, because (as the statistics show) it truly has taken center stage in the last five weeks. We further call on leaders of educational institutions to do the same and to protect students, faculty, and staff from being victimized by Antisemitic or other religious, ethnic, or national bias.
