Join the Latin American Law Students Association (LALSA) for a fireside chat with Hon. Joseph A. Zayas, Chief Administrative Judge of the New York State Unified Court System. Appointed by Chief Judge Rowan Wilson in 2023, Judge Zayas oversees the operations of New York’s vast court system, managing a $3.7 billion budget and thousands of judges and court employees statewide.

In this engaging conversation, Judge Zayas will share insights from his distinguished career—from his early work as a Legal Aid attorney to his role as a trial and appellate judge—and offer guidance to students on navigating the legal profession. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of New York’s most influential judicial leaders as he discusses his path to the bench, lessons learned along the way, and the challenges and rewards of public service.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for New York City and State Law.
