(CN) The septuagenarian judges who sued New York court administrators over their forced retirement will indeed have to leave the bench, a panel of appellate judges ruled Tuesday.
In a 3-2 decision, the Third Judicial Department of the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division ruled that the court system did not violate the state constitution when it used pandemic-related budget cuts as a reason to deny recertification to judges older than 70.
While 70 is New York’s mandatory retirement age, judges can apply to stay on the bench until age 76, requesting recertification in two-year increments. Typically, recertification is granted as long as a judge is fit to serve.
