DEAR IN THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN



Wednesday, September 05, 2007
NYC Bar disapproves Noach Dear for Civil Court Judge.
The New York City Bar Association has officially disapproved of Noach Dear as a candidate for Civil Court Judge. The Committee on the Judiciary of the Bar Association determines whether a candidate possesses the requisite qualifications for judicial office based on criteria such as integrity, impartiality, intellectual ability, knowledge of the law, industriousness, and judicial demeanor and temperament. According to the Bar Association the reason for approving Karen Yellen instead of Noach Dear was because, “by reason of the candidate’s failure to affirmatively demonstrate that he possesses the requisite qualifications for the court for which he is a candidate.”
Tom Robbins, writer for the Village Voice has written an excellent article on Dear in this week's issue. www.villagevoice.com
