Partner Vincent E. Doyle III was recently appointed by New York Governor Eliot Spitzer to the Fourth Judicial Department Judicial Screening Committee. The Governor established Screening Committees in each Judicial Department to review and consider the qualifications of candidates seeking appointment by the Governor to various judicial offices.

Under New York law, the Governor has authority to designate elected Supreme Court Justices to serve on the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court and, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make appointments to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court, the County Court, the Surrogate’s Court and the Family Court. Under his executive order, Governor Spitzer will designate or appoint only those candidates who have been screened by the Screening Committees and found to be highly qualified for judicial office.
