About Us

In May 2005, Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye organized the Partners in Justice Colloquium.  This effort brought together judges, practitioners and academics to promote a better understanding of the collateral consequences of criminal prosecutions in New York.  The event was a resounding success.

Judge Kaye formed a working group and charged it with finding ways to continue the information-sharing that began at the Colloquium.  The Working Group, in partnership with the Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic at the Columbia University School of Law, created this site.  Ultimately, the site will be hosted by the New York State Judicial Institute, where it may serve as a template for further online judicial education initiatives.
