NYC judge found to have flaunted position, called woman ‘stupid bitch’ in parking spat

A Brooklyn judge was found to have flaunted her position during a road rage incident last year in which she called a teacher a “stupid bitch,” a state judicial watchdog group said Monday — as it recommended she be formally reprimanded over the spat.

Civil Court Judge Jill Epstein, 64, was charged by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, which has determined she should be publicly admonished for throwing her judicial powers around after she was caught in a traffic jam outside of Boerum Hill’s PS 261 on April 1, 2022.

Epstein — who took office in 2019 — got stuck behind a bus on Pacific Street that was stopped because of a double-parked car in front of it, the SCJC said in its determination.

So she went into the elementary school, handed a safety officer her business card and told him she was a judge and needed to get to work — demanding that an announcement be made over the intercom for the car to be moved, the determination states.

When the owner of the car — a teacher — came out, an enraged Epstein called her a “stupid bitch,” the SCJC said.

The judge also told the teacher, who had a parking placard on her card, that she also had one but it didn’t give her the right to double park, the determination reads.
