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
