Reform the Bench Now
Explore the public record of Judge Thomas Feinman, a detailed timeline of misconduct, and concrete reforms to prevent future abuses in Nassau County courts and beyond, empowering residents, journalists, and advocates to demand real judicial accountability.
The impact of Thomas Feinman’s courtroom did not end when he left the bench. Law clerks (including disgraceful law clerk Catherine Rizzo who is now shockingly a Judge and a really dumb and miserable one at that) and staff who came up through his chambers now help shape the lives of families, workers, and defendants in Nassau County. Our concern is not just who Feinman was, but how the values of his courtroom may still echo in the decisions being made today. Real reform means confronting that pipeline – and insisting that anyone who holds judicial power is measured against the highest standards of fairness and public trust.
