Judge Juliet P. Howard, a well-regarded Kings County Housing Court Judge, has formally entered the race to become Judge of the Kings County Civil Court in Brooklyn’s 6th Municipal District. The district spans Prospect Heights, Park Slope, Crown Heights, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Kensington, and Midwood neighborhoods.
Dedicated to Fairness and Neighborhoods
Appointed to Housing Court in 2021, Judge Howard has over a quarter-century of experience in public interest law behind her.
Her campaign has drawn significant support, with the New York City Bar Association’s Judiciary Committee granting her an “Approved” rating based on her fair-mindedness, experience, and devotion to equity.
A Judge For the People
In her campaign kickoff, Judge Howard stressed that although mayoral contests are high-profile, local judicial elections have personal consequences for many residents.
“There’s heavy emphasis on the Mayor’s race this year, but local court races shape the day-to-day for so many,” said Howard. “The Civil Court addresses vital matters such as housing, family, and small claims. Each Brooklyn resident should be able to count on a judge who is fair and truly listens.”
Harlem Upbringing, Brooklyn Justice
Raised in Sugar Hill, Harlem, Howard credits her grandmother and mother for her commitment to justice. With her mother’s 45-year career in Civil Court, Howard learned about the importance of empathy and access to justice early on.
Howard earned degrees from Barnard College (B.A.), Brooklyn Law School (J.D.), and City College of New York (M.F.A., Creative Writing). She previously served at The Legal Aid Society’s Civil Division and as a court attorney for the New York State Unified Court System.
Fighting for Court Access and Equality
Judge Howard co-chairs the Kings County Subcommittee of the NYC Equal Justice Implementation Committee, working to end discrimination and broaden diversity on the bench.
She is lauded for her approachability and clear communication, making sure vulnerable litigants are aware of their rights in court.
