A Right to Do Versus Doing What Is Right

The double-dipping virus for judges has appeared in New York, too, where State Supreme Court Justice Brian DeJoseph “retired” on December 31, 2014 and began a new term of office on January 1, 2015.  Judge DeJoseph’s election to a new term in November 2014, as well as a loophole in New York’s retirement law, enabled the judge to bank an estimated $112,000 a year in pension benefits while earning $183,300 as a judge.


To wit: “Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.” Justice Potter Stewart
