BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo judge could get a big appointment when a seat opens up on the New York State Court of Appeals in June.
Two Buffalo judges are among the seven recommended for the seat.
Justice Erin Peradotto was elected to the State Supreme Court in 2003.
Justice Shirley Troutman has been on the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, since 2016.
It is an all-female list of candidates to replace Judge Leslie Stein, who is retiring. The governor must select someone no later than May 8.
