Outgoing Chief Judge Janet DiFiore should be disbarred, ethics complaint chargesBy Carl Campanile
August 30, 2022
A bombshell complaint urges court officials to strip the law license of outgoing New York Chief Judge Janet DiFiore, alleging a number of ethical transgressions, The Post has learned.
Wednesday is DiFiore’s final day in charge of the state judiciary after announcing her abrupt resignation last month.
Dennis Quirk, the longtime head of the New York State Court Officers union, is filing the 13-page complaint with Jerold Ruderman, who chairs the grievance committee in the Ninth Judicial District.
The complaint charges that DiFiore improperly intervened in a disciplinary case involving Quirk; refused to comply with court orders when the chief judge was sued by 46 older judges forced out of their jobs; and ruled on cases instead of recusing herself involving the law firm Greenberg Traurig, which personally represented her in the litigation involving the older judges.
