“I congratulate Janet DiFiore on her confirmation as Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals. Throughout her distinguished career – including, most recently, as District Attorney – she has been universally admired for her intelligence, knowledge of the law, and an unwavering commitment to fairness in our justice system. I am confident, as she takes on this new and important role, she will be regarded as one of the court’s great chief judges.”
