Dear Friends:
I am supporting Judge Barbara Jaffe's candidacy for Judge of the New York County Surrogate's Court. Judge Jaffe is a highly respected and dedicated Supreme Court justice, sitting by designation. As Surrogate, she will continue to exemplify the very highest standards expected of that position, as she has in her more than 10 years on the bench.
Judge Jaffe presides over a New York Supreme Court part, handling all kinds of cases brought by and against the City of New York, and she is also designated to try matrimonial cases. In both capacities, Judge Jaffe is noted for her efficient calendar management and well-reasoned opinions which are often published. And she decides issues like those arising in Surrogate's Court involving trusts, fiduciary duties, accountings, attorney fees, family disputes, real estate, and taxes.
Recognizing that judges should be part of the community they serve, Judge Jaffe has been very active in city and state bar associations, including serving as Co-Chair of the Committee on Professional Ethics and Discipline for the New York Women's Bar Association, addressing new ethical rules and issues of gender bias, and serving as Co-Chair of the Legislative Committee for the Women's Bar Association of the State of New York. At the New York City Bar Association, she has served on the Nominating Committee, the Art Law Committee, the Committee on Capital Punishment, and the Committee on Public Service and Education. She chaired a special committee that created a Criminal Justice Handbook in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Korean, and Russian.
Additionally, Judge Jaffe writes, lectures, and publishes articles in law reviews and journals. She has volunteered her time to support various community groups such as the Stanley M. Isaacs Center and the Friends of Dag Hammarskjold Plaza.
Competitive campaigns for Surrogate's Court are costly. With this in mind, I will be hosting a fundraising event for Judge Jaffe on Wednesday, May 30th at 6:00pm. I ask for your support and hope you can come and meet Judge Jaffe. I know that when you get to know Judge Jaffe, you will be as impressed by her as I am. I look forward to speaking with you more about her candidacy, and working with you to elect Surrogate Jaffe!
Checks may be made payable to: Judge Barbara Jaffe for Surrogate. If you cannot attend and wish to mail a donation to Judge Jaffe's campaign, please mail your check to: Judge Barbara Jaffe for Surrogate, c/o Robin Marsico, 301 East 48th Street, #12D, New York, NY 10017.
See you on May 30th.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Miller, Jr.
