2019 Commission on Legislative,
Judicial & Executive Compensation

 

Chief Judge DiFiore's appointment of Michael Cardozo, Esq.

Disqualified as a judicial pay raise advocate, whose testimony before the 2011 Commission on Judicial Compensation, as NYC Corporation Counsel, was fraudulent and who colluded in the frauds of his fellow judicial pay raise advocates before the Commission on Judicial Compensation.  This was demonstrated by CJA's contemporaneous correspondence to Cardozo, his fellow pay raise advocates, and the Commission-- without dispute from any of them as to its accuracy.  This correspondence was annexed and summarized by CJA's October 27, 2011 opposition report to the Commission on Judicial Compensation's August 29, 2011 report -- and such was furnished to Cardozo, the judicial pay raise advocates, and the Commission -- again, without dispute from any of them as to its accuracy.

Prior thereto, Cardozo, again, and again, and again, in his leadership positions, at the Fund for Modern Court, at the New York City Bar Association, at Citizens Union perpetuated and colluded in the corruption of judicial discipline, judicial selection, and of the judicial process itself.
