Governor Kathy Hochul on Monday nominated Rowan Wilson to be the next Chief Judge of the state’s Court of Appeals, with the hopes of a smoother confirmation process than for her previous nominee.
Wilson, who has served as an associate judge on the Court of Appeals since 2017, would be the first African-American to lead the state’s highest court and the overall state court system if confirmed by the New York Senate.
