Judicial elections are far too often overlooked by voters. Caroline Cohen is working to motivate people to come out and vote for Civil Court in New York City this year. She joins the You Should Run Podcast to discuss why she's running, the challenges of running for judge and getting people to make judicial elections a priority, and what she can change as a judge. Plus, we talk about who her favorite judge is from TV. Listen, share, and subscribe to the podcast today!
From her Facebook bio at: https://www.facebook.com/CohenforJudge2019/
Caroline was previously employed by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) for eight years, where she successfully litigated a variety of cases including discrimination cases brought by the New York State Division of Human Rights, holdover, non-payment, HP and Article 78 proceedings. While at NYCHA, Caroline was a fierce advocate for her client, but also very mindful of the needs of NYCHA residents. Accordingly, Caroline earned an unparalleled reputation for resolving cases with tenants and opposing counsel alike. Caroline achieved this by working diligently and consistently with her client to ensure that repairs were completed and worked with New York City agencies including the Human Resources Administration and the HIV and AIDS Services Administration to assist tenants with unpaid rent.
After Donald Trump was elected as President in 2016, Caroline felt called to do more with her advocacy skills. Accordingly, Caroline joined Crumiller P.C. in June 2017, where she commenced a practice dedicated to fighting gender and pregnancy discrimination and tenant advocacy.
