The New York State Bar Association Demands Judges Receive Respect

The New York State Bar Association released the following statement for this morning for immediate release, “The New York State Bar Association has long supported Judicial independence as essential to maintaining the rule of law and protecting individual rights. An independent judiciary, able to make rulings based on law, rather than under pressure from the legislative or executive branch, is a vital part of our system of checks and balances. This requires that our judges be treated with respect, regardless of whether parties to the parties litigation agree with the court’s judgements and orders. It also requires compliance with orders of our courts, consistent with the rule of law.”
