Brooklyn voters will soon have a chance to shape the future of their local judiciary. Early voting for the Kings County Civil Court election kicks off June 14 and runs through June 22, with Election Day set for Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
Civil Court candidate Janice Chen calls for voter participation
One of this year’s candidates, attorney Janice Chen, is encouraging residents to make their voices heard in a race that could have long-lasting impacts on access to justice in Brooklyn.
“Fairness and equity must be more than ideals — they must be practiced in every courtroom,” Chen said in a press release. “Now more than ever, we need judges who connect with the people they serve and understand the barriers so many face in accessing justice.”
A Platform of Community-Centered Justice
Chen has built her legal career advocating for working-class New Yorkers, focusing on housing rights, family law, and equitable access to legal representation. Her campaign centers on the belief that the judiciary should reflect and respond to the real-life challenges of the communities it serves.

Why This Election Matters
While judicial elections often receive less attention than high-profile legislative races, the outcome can shape how civil disputes are handled across the borough. These civil disputes include landlord-tenant issues, consumer rights cases, and more.
For this election, it’s not just about the names you see on the ballot. It’s about who you trust to uphold the justice in our communities. Chen is urging Brooklynites to vote early and help ensure that their voices influence the future of the borough’s legal system.
