Yesterday, February 12, 2007, Judge Theodore Jones Jr. (see prior post) was sworn in as Judge of the state's highest court, the New York Court of Appeals. Judge Jones said this about his confirmation and the Court: "I'm proud of course to be confirmed and sworn in to this [C]ourt which is so important to this state and to the residents of New York."
As an article in the Albany Times Union pointed out, Judge Jones is in the gender minority on the Bench. Judge Jones, Judge Pigott, and Judge Smith share the Bench with their female colleagues: Chief Judge Kaye, Judge Ciparick, Judge Graffeo, and Judge Read.
