Promoting Diversity in the Courts: Joan Levenson

This episode of Diversity Dialogues, a production of the NYS Court System's Office of Diversity and Inclusion, is a story of two young people from Poland who met in a displaced persons camp after World War II, found a way to emigrate to America, built a successful business, and raised two daughters who carry their memories, and to some extent, their trauma.

One of those daughters is Joan Levenson, principal law clerk to the Hon. Deborah Kaplan and counsel to the New York State Judicial Committee on Elder Justice.
