A regional chief judge in New York has stepped down from his administrative role because of a photo of himself at a Halloween party in 1988. Craig Doran, the chief judge of the region that includes Rochester, New York, said in a statement he appeared in the photo as a “well-known public figure of color,” report the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Syracuse.com and WXXI News. The stories say it’s unclear which public figure he portrayed. Doran will continue to serve as an elected judge. He was elected to a 10-year term to the trial-level supreme court in 2015 and previously served as a judge for Ontario County, New York.

NY judge apologizes after photo of racist costume from 1988 emerges

View Comments State Supreme Justice Craig Doran announced Friday morning he would step down from his role as administrative judge for the Seventh Judicial District due to a photograph taken at Halloween party in 1988 in which I appear as a well-known public figure of color. Doran made the announcement after he said this photograph began circulating. The photograph still hasn t surfaced publicly and it s unclear who Doran was portraying in it. Doran made the unexpected announcement in a three-paragraph statement released by email Friday. He said he would continue to serve in his role as an elected state supreme court justice. The announcement caught many by surprise, because Doran has worked on numerous efforts to help local courts become more equitable. 

Doran steps down as administrative judge over 1988 Halloween photo

Created: July 02, 2021 09:47 PM ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) An email hit our in-box Friday morning that sent a shockwave through the entire legal system in Rochester.  The email said the highest-ranking judge in our area is resigning his leadership post because of a nearly 33-year-old photo of him at a Halloween party that has been circulated.   The judge is Craig Doran. As the administrative judge, he supervises every county, family, and Supreme Court judge in our eight-county region and hears cases.             It has come to my attention that a photograph taken of me at a Halloween party in 1988 in which I appear as a well-known public figure of color has been circulated, Doran s statement begins. I am deeply sorry for my decision to appear in this manner. I did not comprehend at the time the hurtful nature of my actions. I know now that an act of this nature is considered to be racist.
