In this Veterans Day episode of Diversity Dialogues, a production of the New York State Unified Court System’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, we explore leadership, service and camaraderie from the perspective of a woman who followed an unlikely path to become an Army medic, treating Wounded Warriors during Operation Desert Storm, and then an equally unlikely path to become the first Black woman ever to serve as Deputy District Executive and now District Executive in the Eighth Judicial District.
Ms. Moore discusses her journey, the influence of Buffalo area role models such as judges Wilbur Trammell, Samuel Green, Rose Sconiers, Shirley Troutman, Jeanette Ogden and Kevin Carter, and her commitment to lifting as she climbs.
“It's very important that to the best of my ability, I make myself available to anyone who wants to speak to me, who I'm able to assist in moving forward, to the youth who come after us,” Ms. Moore said. “Every one of us has someone who was behind us, who has made it easier for us to get where we're going. And it is due to their hard work, their sacrifice, their willingness to lift as you climb.”

In a new Diversity Dialogue podcast, Rafael Dilones, the Clerk of Richmond County Family Court and the child of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, reveals that as a child he questioned whether he was fully American, even though, as a natural born citizen, he’s as American as George Washington. He simply didn’t see anyone who looked like him in authority positions.
“When I was in grade school, none of my teachers were of color,” Rafael said. “They were all great teachers and very encouraging, but I didn't see anyone that looked like me, and I think that matters. When I saw people on TV, the people that had the power did not look like me, and the people that were marginalized, they were the people that looked like me. Representation matters so, so much, especially to the young kids. They need to see that not only are we a member of this society, but we have a lot to contribute.”

It's hard to imagine anyone having a better grasp of the history of the Office of Court Administration than Legislative Counsel Marc Bloustein -- for the simple reason that Marc is the history of the OCA. Marc was there at the start of OCA and, in his 50-year career, has served under every Chief Administrative Judge in state history.
In this wide-ranging and insightful interview, Marc discusses the origins and evolution of statewide court management - and reveals some tidbits that only an insider would know. Marc is retiring Sept. 26.

Thirty-four years ago today, President George Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act, the world's first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities.
Our guest today is a young woman with a very special perspective on the doors that were opened, literally, by the ADA, and a painfully special insight into the consequences of inner-city gun violence.

Rolanda was only 17 years old and living in public housing in East New York when she was shot three times in a stairwell, paralyzing her and leaving her to navigate life in a wheelchair.

The New York State Court of Claims is often a below-the-radar court in the state court system.
It rarely makes news. Its jurisdiction is limited to civil cases against the state and some of its entities. There are no jurors, so each case is decided by a judge. And since the judges are all appointed by the Governor, they never interact with the public in the way that judges campaigning for public office do.
In a new Amici podcast, Acting Presiding Judge Richard E. Sise and Court of Claims Judges Catherine Leahy-Scott and Ramón Rivera demystify the court, explaining why it exists, what it does and how it does it.

When Carolyn Walker-Diallo, New York City Civil Court Administrative Judge, took her oath of office in 2015 with her hand on the Qur’an, the public recoil was instant. She was called “un-American,” a "jihadist" and a “terrorist.” For a time, she and her family were under armed guard.
In this new Diversity Dialogue podcast, Justice Walker-Diallo, the first Muslim person to serve as a judge in New York State, discusses Islam and her spiritual journey. She also reveals that that prior to converting, she harbored negative presumptions about Islam based upon the misrepresentation of the religion in the news and the media.

As the third of eight children in an Irish Catholic family, future Deputy Chief Administrative Judge James P. Murphy picked up a lot of skills early on that would come in handy when he undertook the daunting task of overseeing day-to-day trial court operations in 57 of New York’s 62 counties and put him in charge of 640 judges and 6,000 non-judicial employees: teamwork, collaboration, humility, group dynamics and a keen understanding that the interests of the clan as a whole outweigh those of any individual.
Judge Murphy, who was appointed last year as the Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for the Courts Outside New York City, discusses his background and management approach in a new Amici podcast.
