Few American jurists have compiled a career as influential or accomplished as the Honorable A. Gail Prudenti, the former chief administrative judge of the Courts of New York State.
From her studies at Scotland’s University of Aberdeen and her first job clerking in the Suffolk County Surrogate’s Court to her tenure as a Suffolk prosecutor, her 20-plus years on the bench and her post-judgeship partnership at East Setauket-based family-law specialist Burner Prudenti Law, she’s done everything you can do in a courtroom – and done it with unwavering commitment to fairness, compassion and justice.
In today’s episode, the longtime judge and former dean of the Hofstra University law school joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss her storied career, the scope (and sometimes underappreciated significance) of family law and her highest hopes for the future of the federal judiciary – plus the critical importance of diversity in the application of American law.
