NYC BAR ASSOCIATION AND THE JUDICIAL EVALUATION PROCESS

New York City attorney Dyan Gershman works with clients in domestic and international corporate law matters and delivers advice and support in areas such as mergers and acquisitions, commercial contracts and intellectual property licensing. Dyan Gershman is active with the NYC Bar Association (NYC Bar), a professional legal organization that fulfills functions such as rating candidates in local judicial elections.

Made up of 50 members of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, the NYC Bar’s Judiciary Committee is responsible for the candidate review process. Distinct from political office candidates, those aspiring to judge positions typically limit their statements during their campaign, avoiding comments related to politics, as well as those on issues they will likely face in the courtroom if elected. For this reason, the NYC Bar rating serves as the primary way for voters to assess potential judges.
