A Win For Diane Russell….

In New York’s Court of Appeals.

We go back a long way with Diane.  A very long way.  She deserves a lot of kudos for this one.  It’s part of a large body of very, very good work.

The only sad part is that Diane’s win comes at the expense of Judge John DeMarco, who is one of the most thoughtful, independent and fair minded judges on the bench around Monroe County, New York.

Thoughtfulness and independence are dangerous qualities for judges.  And rare ones.
