The Appellate Division, Second Department, envelops more than half the population of New York State.
NEW YORK - For the first time in the history of the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court, an all-Latino bench took the helm on the morning of Sept. 5. Presiding Justice Hector Daniel LaSalle says it was a day he never dreamed of. 'There was a particular sense of pride because the three women I sat with and I share not just an ethnic background, but we're all we're all first-generation college kids,' Justice LaSalle tells CBS New York's Hannah Kliger.
One of the newest additions to the court is Associate Justice Lourdes M. Ventura, who was born in Queens to parents from the Dominican Republic. She was part of the historic panel in September, and it was also her first day on the bench. 'Breaking the barriers is exciting, but then immediately what surfaces within is a great responsibility for it not to just remain with me. You know, I have this motto, 'lift as you climb,'' she explains.
