Judge Jonathan Lippman Applauded for Commitment to Public Service and Community

Judge Jonathan Lippman, of counsel in our New York office, was once again honored for his commitment to public service. He was named to the Law Power 100 List, an annual ranking of notables in the legal industry in the New York City area by City & State New York.

In its profile of Judge Lippman, the publication praised the judge for his longstanding commitment to public service, calling his report on antisemitism and discrimination at City University of New York “a blueprint for higher education” and praising his involvement in a successful challenge of New York’s property tax system. The judge has been recognized on each iteration of the Law Power list since its inception in 2019.

Judge Lippman joined Latham as of counsel in the firm’s Litigation & Trial Department in 2015, after retiring as Chief Judge of the State of New York and Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. On the bench, he championed equal access to justice and helped make New York State the first US state to require pro bono work for admission to the bar.
