Brooklyn is set to add two new judges to its bench in Supreme Court next year, after Albany lawmakers approved bills expanding the judiciary statewide to address chronic backlog.

The two new additions would bring the number of judges on the Brooklyn Supreme Court bench to 52, while also adding judges to the bench statewide. The legislation also adds four judges to New York City’s Family Court.
