I welcome and encourage applications from people with a demonstrated commitment to public service and from members of communities that have been traditionally underrepresented in the federal judiciary and the legal profession.

My chambers will be located in Central Islip, Long Island – close to parks, beaches, nature, and hiking trails. Clerks will regularly work in chambers in Central Islip, although occasional, limited remote work may be permissible.
