Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Wan, others named to Appellate Division
Four New York State judges — including Brooklyn’s State Supreme Court Justice Lillian Wan — have been appointed to the state’s Appellate Division, Second Department, headquartered in Brooklyn.
“Appointing upstanding and experienced judges is one of our first lines of defense against injustice,” Hochul said. “I am confident these judges will continue their impressive public service records and uphold the sanctity of the law.”
Judge Wan is currently a justice of the Kings County Supreme Court, a position she has held since January 2022. Before she was elected to the Supreme Court, she was a judge for the New York State Court of Claims from 2018 to 2021 and a New York City Family Court Judge from 2012 to 2018.
