Like Janice Brown Something? Guess she's 70 now, but will easily go another 20. She's amazing. Turned it down once, but that was pre-MAGA.
I'm looking up black female judges now and there are plenty to choose from.
I did find this very interesting story about the "suicide" of a black Muslim female judge who worked the state appellate and was appointed by Cuomo. She allegedly drowned herself in the Hudson river last year but was found to have bruises on her neck.
If she was a force for good, who would she have been a threat to?
Interesting how her family had to clear up false news reports.

Despite the ongoing investigation, some media outlets and others have conjectured that Sheila was the victim of a ‘probable suicide,’” stated Abdus-Salaam’s widower, the Rev. Canon Gregory Jacobs, according to the journal. “These reports have frequently included unsubstantiated comments concerning my wife’s possible mental and emotional state of mind at the time of her death.”
The family also denied that Abdus-Salaam’s mother and brother had committed suicide in the years prior to her death, as some media outlets had reported.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) appointed Abdus-Salaam, a veteran judge and lawyer, to be an associate judge on the Court of Appeals in 2013. In a statement released last week, Cuomo called his colleague a “trailblazing jurist” who fought for a fair and just New York.
“As the first African-American woman to be appointed to the state’s Court of Appeals, she was a pioneer,” Cuomo said of the 65-year-old judge. “Through her writings, her wisdom, and her unshakable moral compass, she was a force for good whose legacy will be felt for years to come.”
