EXCLUSIVE:
While Arthur Engoron was the law secretary of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Martin Schoenfeld, he compromised the outcome of a case by secretly dating the secretary of the plaintiff’s lawyer who had a case pending before the judge.
His unethical conduct compelled his boss, Justice Schoenfeld, to recuse himself from the case on July 1, 2002 after he became aware of Engoron’s affair with the law secretary of a plaintiff’s counsel while the trial was taking place.
Judge Engoron has a history of engaging in unethical behavior, and his actions of illegally communicating with parties involved in a case without public disclosure has damaged the credibility of the New York Supreme Court.
In 2002, counsel for the opposing party in the case recommended the NY Supreme Court conduct a criminal investigation into Arthur Engoron’s behavior.
Arthur Engoron can’t be trusted to oversee a trial ethically. His previous behavior proves this.
